Preciosa Ornela 8/0 Czech glass seed beads in Silk Purple arrive in a generous 3-hank quantity, giving you the working supply you need for larger projects or repeat designs. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, these rocailles carry the consistent sizing and reliable hole alignment that serious beadworkers count on.

The silk finish lends an opaque purple a soft, fabric-like sheen — closer to the matte depth of velvet than to a glossy or metallic surface, with just enough light interaction to keep the color alive.

What to make with them

Their 2.8–3.2 mm size makes these 8/0s a natural choice for loom weaving, bead embroidery, and peyote or brick stitch projects where you want a slightly chunkier hand than an 11/0 provides. The rich opaque purple also works well as a dominant color in fringe work, woven cuffs, or netted collars where the silk finish reads as a tonal contrast against matte or metallic accent beads.
