Preciosa Ornela 10/0 Czech glass seed beads in Terra Intensive Dark Blue come by the hank, cut from glass tube in Bohemia for the consistent sizing and smooth stringing that serious beadworkers rely on. The Terra coating earns a durability rating of 1 — the highest — so these hold up through everyday-wear pieces without fading or flaking.
The Terra coating gives the dark blue glass an earthy, ceramic-like surface that reads more artisan pottery than glossy bead — moody and rich rather than flashy.

What to make with them
At 2.2–2.4 mm, these 10/0s are well-suited for peyote and brick stitch cuffs where the matte-ceramic finish adds organic texture, and they work equally well strung into multi-strand necklaces or woven into loom pieces where that deep, grounded blue anchors earthy or coastal color palettes.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 10/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.3 mm across with a 0.80 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.
