Preciosa Ornela Seed Bead Charlotte True Cut Blue 13/0

Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte True Cut seed beads in opaque blue come in a generous 18-hank quantity, giving you the volume you need for large-scale weaving, embroidery, or loom work without running short mid-project. The single-facet cut that defines a true Charlotte catches light at every angle, adding subtle sparkle that plain rounds simply can't deliver.

The opaque finish delivers a solid, non-translucent blue — saturated and graphic, with no variation in depth or transparency to interrupt your color work.

What to make with them

Their 1.6–1.8 mm size and crisp facet make these a go-to for needle weaving patterns where tight bead-to-bead contact and light play both matter, such as peyote or brick stitch pieces with strong geometric color blocking. They also excel in bead embroidery on fabric or leather, where the opaque face reads cleanly against a background and the Charlotte cut adds dimension without bulk.
