These 6x6mm Preciosa Ornela machine-cut crystal diamond-shaped beads come 72 pieces to a pack, giving you a solid working quantity of a genuinely precise Czech glass crystal. The diamond silhouette catches light at sharp angles that round or bicone shapes simply can't replicate.

Dia Sapphire is a transparent, see-through blue that lets your stringing material and any layered elements show through the glass, shifting the apparent depth and tone depending on what sits behind it.

What to make with them

The flat-faced diamond shape is excellent for right-angle weave and other structural off-loom stitches where the geometry of the bead becomes part of the pattern. They also work beautifully as focal drops or connector links in wire-wrapped pendants, where the machine-cut facets can do their full refractive work.
