These 5x5mm machine-cut crystal diamond beads from Preciosa Ornela come 144 pieces to a pack, giving you a solid working quantity of Bohemian glass crystal in a light amethyst transparent finish. The precise diamond shape and high-permanence color make them a reliable go-to when you need consistent faceting and a soft purple tone that holds up over time.

The transparent finish lets light pass straight through the crystal, so your stringing material and any layered beads beneath show through — a nice effect when you're intentional about what's underneath.

What to make with them

The diamond shape works especially well in earring drops and pendants where the angular facets can catch light from multiple directions, and they're well-suited to fine beadweaving patterns like right-angle weave or peyote where a consistent geometric form keeps your structure tidy.
