Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte seed beads in Opaque Light Lavender come one hank at a time, cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia — that single facet cut catching light in a way a standard round rocaille simply doesn't.
The opaque finish delivers a solid, non-translucent lavender that reads as a clean, confident color block — no murkiness, no shimmer competing for attention, just a consistent matte-adjacent tone that holds its own in dense or graphic work.

What to make with them
Their tiny 1.6–1.8 mm profile and faceted cut make these Charlottes a natural for fine needle lace, tambour embroidery, and micro-peyote where that single sparkle adds texture without bulk; they also layer beautifully into Victorian-inspired fringe or edging alongside larger seed beads to introduce a subtle tonal shimmer in the lavender range.
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.
