Important Style 301 sizing note

The 6mm options are Preciosa Style 301 (451-69-301), which is slightly larger than the regular Style 302. Consider this difference when following a pattern, matching existing beads or combining styles.

Jewelry-making ideas

Use these deep red bicones to add rich color to a necklace, build a repeating bracelet pattern or create faceted earring drops. Pair Garnet AB with neutral beads to emphasize the red glass, or combine it with contrasting colors for a bolder palette. The AB coating adds an iridescent accent to the machine-cut facets.

These Preciosa beads continue the Czech glass beadmaking tradition, with defined facets and a bicone shape that works across a variety of jewelry designs.
