About this product
Preciosa Ornela 8/0 seed beads in Permalux Purple are cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, giving each rocaille a faceted edge that catches light differently than a standard round bead. The PermaLux pearl coating carries a durability rating of 2, good for regular wear with normal care.
The PermaLux Pearl Coating lays a soft, lustrous sheen over the purple glass, giving the color a depth that reads rich and moody rather than flat or glassy.

What to make with them
At 2.8–3.2 mm, these 8/0s are a workhorse size for bead weaving patterns like peyote and brick stitch where you want visible color saturation without bulk. They're also well-suited for stringing layered bracelet or necklace designs where the pearlized purple reads as a cohesive, jewel-toned element alongside metallics or neutrals.
