These 8mm fire polished Czech glass disc beads from Preciosa Ornela come in a light amethyst transparent matte finish — 300 pieces of a versatile, cool-toned purple that works hard across a wide range of projects. Fire polishing gives each disc clean, smoothly faceted edges with the kind of consistency that makes repetitive work genuinely enjoyable.

The transparent matte finish lets soft violet color show through while the etched, frosted surface diffuses light rather than reflecting it — giving these discs a quiet, almost velvety glow instead of a glassy flash.

What to make with them

Disc beads this size are excellent for layered fringe earrings and bead-woven collars where their flat profile lies neatly against the skin. They also stack beautifully on memory wire or stretch cord bracelets, and their shape makes them a natural spacer element between larger focal beads in necklace work.
