Alexandrite is the color-change chameleon of the gem world, and this 6mm fire polished round captures that same shifting purple-to-teal mystique in Czech glass. You get 50 faceted rounds from Preciosa Ornela, cut and polished to catch light from every angle.

The transparent finish lets light pass straight through the glass with no surface coating in the way, so the color reads differently depending on what's behind it — deeper and more violet in shadow, brighter and more blue-lavender in direct light.

What to make with them

At 6mm, these are a natural fit for strung necklaces and bracelets where the facets can do their light-catching work, and they're substantial enough to anchor earring drops or serve as accent beads between seed bead sections in loom or off-loom beadweaving.
