These 8mm pressed glass rounds from Preciosa Ornela come in a light amethyst transparent finish — a soft, cool violet that works hard without overwhelming a design. You get 25 pieces, enough to plan a full bracelet or anchor a mixed-bead necklace.

The transparent finish lets light pass straight through, so the stringing material beneath and any neighboring beads become part of the color story — layering creates depth that an opaque bead simply can't offer.

What to make with them

Their substantial 8mm size makes them ideal as evenly spaced focal points in strung bracelets and necklaces, and the classic round profile plays well in bead-weaving stitches like right-angle weave or simply knotted on silk for a clean, vintage-leaning strand.
