Preciosa Ornela 11/0 seed beads in Metallic Fuchsia AB, sold by the hank — cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, these rocailles bring a bold, high-shine pink with an aurora borealis shimmer to any bead work you put them in.
The solid metallic surface delivers strong, mirror-like shine, while the AB coating layers a spectral iridescence over the fuchsia base — the result shifts between hot pink and flashes of violet and gold depending on the light.

What to make with them
Their consistent 2.0–2.2 mm size makes them reliable for loom work, peyote, and brick stitch where tight color gradients or solid fields of glam color are the goal; they're equally at home strung as fringe on a beaded collar or woven into embroidery accents on a statement cuff.

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.
