These are Preciosa Ornela 9/0 three-cut seed beads in Montana Blue — a classic deep blue shade sold in a generous 5-hank quantity for makers who work at scale. The faceted cuts on each bead catch and scatter light in a way a standard round seed bead simply can't.
The Sfinx finish lays a high-resistance coating over transparent glass, locking in that rich Montana Blue tone so the color holds up through regular wear and handling without fading or flaking.

What to make with them
Three-cut beads like these shine in loom work and off-loom stitches such as peyote or brick stitch, where their faceted surfaces create a subtle, almost woven shimmer across the finished piece. They're also a go-to for bead embroidery on denim or leather, where the extra faceting adds texture and depth that flat or round beads won't give you.
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.
