Preciosa Ornela 9/0 three-cut seed beads in transparent ruby bring the faceted sparkle of cut glass to small-scale beadwork — each bead is snipped from a glass tube, leaving multiple tiny faces that catch and scatter light the way a round seed bead simply can't.
The transparent ruby glass lets color glow from within, while the luster coating lays a glossy, almost wet-looking sheen over the surface for extra depth and luminosity.

What to make with them
Their faceted surface makes these a natural choice for loom-woven or off-loom peyote and brick stitch pieces where you want texture and shimmer without adding larger beads — they also work beautifully strung as a base in fringe necklaces or woven into embroidered brooches where the cut faces add visual complexity at a fine scale.
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.
