Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte Cut seed beads in dark red bring the classic single-cut facet to one of the most versatile sizes in a maker's repertoire — each tiny bead ground with one flat facet that catches light in a way a standard round rocaille simply can't.
The opaque finish delivers a dense, solid dark red with no translucency — saturated color that reads boldly even in fine-scale work.

What to make with them
At 1.6–1.8 mm, these 13/0 Charlottes are well suited to needle weaving techniques like peyote and herringbone where the single-cut facets create a subtle, shifting shimmer across the surface, and they're a natural fit for embroidery and tambour work where their petite scale and rich color add depth without bulk.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 13/0. Each bead measures approximately 1.7 mm across with a 0.50 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.
