Preciosa Ornela 9/0 three-cut seed beads in opaque medium red, sold in a generous 5-hank quantity — the three-cut faceting catches light the way a smooth round simply can't, giving every stitch a subtle sparkle without any metallic finish required.
The opaque finish delivers a solid, non-translucent red that reads bold and graphic — no depth to peer into, just a clean, confident color that holds its own against any palette.
These Czech glass three-cuts are well-suited to loom work and peyote stitch where the faceted edges create a quietly textured surface across flat beadwork, and their 9/0 size makes them a natural fit for bead embroidery on regalia, statement cuffs, or densely worked floral motifs where a strong red anchor color does the heavy lifting.

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.
