Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte True Cut seed beads in opaque blue come by the hank, giving you a serious supply of one of beading's most light-catching small formats — the single-facet cut that sets Charlottes apart from standard rounds.
The opaque finish delivers a solid, non-translucent blue that holds its color confidently, so the facet catches light as contrast rather than glow.

What to make with them
At 1.6–1.8 mm, these 13/0 Charlottes excel in fine needle-weaving techniques like peyote and herringbone where that single cut facet adds texture and sparkle without bulk; they're also a go-to for embroidering detailed fills in bead embroidery work where a standard 11/0 would be too coarse.
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.
