These 8mm dark garnet fire polished rounds from Preciosa Ornela come 300 pieces to a pack, giving you serious working quantity in a rich, deep red Czech glass. Fire polishing gives each faceted bead that crisp, light-catching geometry that seed beads and pressed glass simply can't match.

Transparent dark garnet means the color lives inside the glass itself — no surface coating to worry about, just clean light moving through a deep, wine-red tone that shifts from near-burgundy in shadow to a glowing ruby in direct light.

What to make with them

At 8mm, these are substantial enough to anchor a strung necklace or bracelet as a focal repeat, and their faceted surface makes them strong candidates for right-angle weave or other off-loom stitches where the cut catches light from multiple angles. They also work well as spacers between larger statement components or knotted on silk for a classic, polished finish.
