Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte seed beads in Royal Blue bring the precision of a single-cut facet to one of the smallest seed bead sizes made — that one cut catches light in a way a standard rocaille simply can't. You're getting a full hank of these tiny Czech glass beads, handily sized for fine beadwork that rewards close attention.
The opaque finish delivers a solid, saturated royal blue with no translucency — the color reads as bold and unbroken, giving beadwork a strong, graphic quality.

What to make with them
Their small scale and single facet make 13/0 Charlottes a go-to for loom and off-loom beadweaving where surface texture and light play matter — peyote stitch, brick stitch, and traditional powwow regalia beadwork all benefit from that faceted sparkle at fine detail scale. They also work beautifully as accent rows between larger seed beads in ndebele or square stitch, where the cut catches light against matte neighbors.
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.
