Preciosa Ornela's 9/0 three-cut seed beads in Transparent Ruby bring a faceted, light-catching texture that standard round seeds simply can't match — each bead is cut from glass tube in Bohemia, giving it those characteristic flat facets that catch and scatter light across your work.
The transparent ruby glass reads as a rich, clear red, and the luster coating lays a warm glow over the surface so the color seems to radiate from within rather than just sit on top.

What to make with them
Three-cuts are a go-to for bead embroidery and loom work where the facets create a subtle, almost velvety shimmer across flat panels — try them alongside smooth Delicas or charlottes to play up the textural contrast. They also work beautifully in strung fringe, netted collars, and right-angle weave where individual beads catch light from multiple angles.
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.
