Preciosa Ornela's 13/0 Charlotte cut seed beads in Metallic Gold arrive in a full hank of Bohemian Czech glass, each tiny bead ground to a single facet that catches light in a way a standard round simply can't. That one cut face is what separates Charlottes from every other seed bead in your collection — and at 1.6–1.8 mm, the effect is subtle but unmistakable.
The solid metallic surface delivers a strong, consistent shine with real depth — warm gold that reads rich and deliberate rather than flashy.

What to make with them
Charlottes at this size excel in fine beadweaving — peyote and brick stitch bracelets gain an almost woven-textile shimmer when the facets catch light at varying angles. They're equally at home strung as accent rounds between larger focal beads in loom work or fringe earrings where that metallic glint does the heavy lifting.
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.
