Preciosa Ornela 8/0 Czech glass seed beads in transparent cobalt — a deep, saturated blue that's been a workhorse of serious beadwork for good reason. Sold by the hank, these cut-tube rocailles bring consistent sizing (2.8–3.2 mm) and reliable quality straight from Bohemia, Czechia.
The transparent finish lets light pass straight through the glass, giving the cobalt a rich, glassy depth that shifts from vivid to moody depending on your light source.

What to make with them
Their 8/0 size makes them a natural choice for loom work, peyote, and brick stitch where you want a slightly chunkier bead with good coverage, and the transparent cobalt reads especially well in coastal or ocean-inspired pieces where color saturation does the heavy lifting.
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.
