Preciosa Ornela 9/0 three-cut seed beads in opaque blue, sold by the hank — the faceted cut on each tiny Czech glass bead catches light in a way a standard round seed bead simply doesn't, adding low-key sparkle without any metallic finish.
The opaque finish delivers a solid, flat-faced blue with no translucency, so the color reads as bold and consistent across your work — no variation based on backing color or thread.

What to make with them
The 9/0 size and faceted surface make these a strong choice for loom-woven geometric patterns and brick-stitch work where the cut faces line up to create a subtle sheen across the piece; they also work well in peyote stitch samplers where you want a matte-adjacent look with a little more dimension than a standard opaque bead provides.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 09/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.6 mm across with a 0.90 mm (approx.) hole. These round seed beads are made using Preciosa's tube-cutting and hot-polishing process, which gives them a gently rounded shape and consistent hole size that works beautifully for loom work, off-loom bead weaving, bead embroidery, and general stringing projects. Use them anywhere you need classic Czech rocailles—from intricate peyote and brick stitch to fringe, edging, and multi-strand designs. Not a toy. Not intended for children under 15 years. Seed beads should be kept away from small children due to the risk of swallowing or inhalation.
