Preciosa Ornela 8/0 seed beads in opaque pale blue, cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia and sold by the hank — a reliable, workhorse size with a soft, airy color that holds its own in dense beadwork.
The opaque finish delivers solid, non-translucent color, so the pale blue reads clearly and consistently across every bead without variation from light or angle.

What to make with them
At 2.8–3.2 mm, these 8/0s are well-suited for loom and off-loom beadweaving like peyote or brick stitch where you want visible color impact, and their heft makes them a natural choice for stringing, knotted designs, or adding structured fringe to wearable pieces.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 08/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.9 mm across with a 0.90 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.
