Preciosa Ornela 9/0 three-cut seed beads in Purple Iris come by the hank, giving you a serious working quantity of faceted Czech glass that catches light from every angle. The three-cut construction means each tiny bead has multiple flat facets ground into it, so your finished work shimmers in a way that round seeds simply can't match.

An opaque purple base meets a strong iris finish that throws dramatic multicolor rainbow reflections — the kind of shifting, moody iridescence that reads differently in candlelight than it does in daylight.

What to make with them

These are a natural for loom-woven cuffs and peyote bracelets where the facets create a rippling, jewel-like surface across the fabric. They also work beautifully as accent rows in bead embroidery on velvet or leather, where the iris finish plays off a rich background and adds depth without adding bulk.
