Preciosa Ornela 11/0 seed beads in Opal Sapphire arrive in a full hank, cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia — a reliable, consistent bead that serious makers reach for when a cool blue with depth is exactly what the piece needs.
The opal finish gives the glass a translucent, opalescent quality with an inner glow — not a flat blue, but one that shifts and softens with the light.

What to make with them
At 2.0–2.2 mm, these 11/0s are well-suited to peyote and brick stitch work where color consistency across a hank matters, and their cool sapphire tone makes them a natural choice for coastal-inspired loom pieces, bridal accessories, or any beadweaving project that calls for a quiet, luminous blue.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 11/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.1 mm across with a 0.70 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.
