Preciosa Ornela 8/0 seed beads in Opaque Slate Blue come in a 3-hank quantity, giving you a serious working supply of this cool, muted blue cut from Czech glass in Bohemia. The 8/0 size (2.8–3.2 mm) hits a practical sweet spot — substantial enough to work up quickly, yet refined enough for detailed patterning.
The opaque finish delivers solid, non-translucent color with no variation or depth to distract — just a clean, consistent slate blue that holds its own in graphic, high-contrast work.

What to make with them
Use them in loom-woven geometric bands and peyote cuffs where the opaque color reads as a crisp, flat tone across repeating patterns, or string them as the dominant bead in multi-strand necklaces and coastal-inspired jewelry where a grounded, cool neutral anchors brighter accent colors.
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.
