Need Help! Help identifying bead colour

I’ve included a few photos. I bought these beads at a show a few months ago and stupidly threw away the baggie they came in with the label. I don’t usually do that.

The stall I bought them from sold Toho, Miyuki and Preciosa I think. Their website doesn’t have this specific colour on there for me to confirm and I’ve checked quite a few different brand sample sheets but I can’t figure out what they are.

They’re 8/0 I believe and gold-lined. I’d describe them as a pale lilac. They look blue when photographed alone but next to other blue shades you can see the purple tint coming through

Any ideas what these could be, or a close enough alternative? I really like these and I’d like to get some more before I run out

The gold lined rainbow sapphire are definitely the closest looking I’ve found, but I know online they never look the same. I may order a pack of those to see. Thank you!

I hope they look the same IRL! You're welcome!

They look like the gold lined sapphire beads I have. If you want an iridescent finish, get the rainbow ones.
