These 3mm Preciosa Ornela machine-cut crystal diamond-shape beads come in a retail pack of 144 pieces, each faceted in Bohemia, Czechia for the kind of light-catching precision that mass-produced glass can't match. The diamond silhouette — wider at the girdle, pointed at the tips — gives you a geometry that standard rounds and bicones simply don't offer.

A surface coating shifts the base crystal into the Browns, Tans, and Golds color family, lending warm, earthy tones with a sheen that can read anywhere from bronzed and rustic to quietly glamorous depending on the light — just keep in mind that coated finishes are medium-low in durability and can wear with friction over time.

What to make with them

The pointed diamond shape threads beautifully as a standalone spacer between larger focal beads in earrings or necklaces, and it's particularly well-suited to Art Deco or Southwestern-inspired bead weaving where angular geometry does the design work. Try them in right-angle weave or as accent beads in bead embroidery where the facets catch light at multiple angles without adding much bulk.

The finish on these beads is delicate. Avoid prolonged exposure to friction, moisture, skin acids, and harsh chemicals to preserve the surface coating.
