These are Preciosa Ornela 1/0 Czech glass seed beads — one of the larger seed bead sizes at 6.3–6.8 mm — sold in a generous 100g loose mix of opaque/luster colors cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia. The multi-color mix and substantial size make them a go-to for projects where you want real presence and a pop of variety without sourcing individual colorways.
The opaque/luster finish gives each bead a solid, light-blocking base with a soft sheen on the surface — colors read as rich and saturated rather than glassy or transparent.

What to make with them
At 6.3–6.8 mm, these work beautifully for chunky woven bracelets and necklaces using peyote or right-angle weave, where their size creates bold texture fast. They're also well-suited for fiber arts embellishment, bag fringe, and kumihimo braiding where a larger bead adds weight and visual punch.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 01/0. Each bead measures approximately 6.6 mm across with a 2.00 mm 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.
