Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte seed beads in opaque light blue come by the hank, cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia — and that single facet cut is what sets Charlottes apart, catching light in a way a standard round rocaille simply doesn't.
The opaque finish delivers solid, non-translucent color that reads as a clean, confident light blue — no variation, no see-through — just strong graphic color that holds its own in any design.

What to make with them
Their tiny 1.6–1.8 mm size and signature sparkle make these Charlottes ideal for fine beadweaving techniques like peyote or brick stitch where that single-cut facet adds texture and shimmer without bulk; they're also a go-to for edging, fringe, and loom work where consistent color and a little extra glint make the detail work pop.
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.
