Preciosa Ornela 10/0 seed beads in opaque pale blue come packed in a generous 5-hank quantity, giving you serious working yardage in a cool, understated blue that reads clearly in any design. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, these rocailles deliver the consistent sizing and smooth stringing that Czech glass has been known for generations.
The opaque finish gives this pale blue a solid, flat-front presence — no light passes through, so the color holds its value against any background and reads as a clean, graphic tone from across the room.
The 10/0 size is a workhorse for loom and off-loom beadwork like peyote, brick stitch, and Native-style powwow regalia where color blocking and crisp pattern edges matter. They're also well-suited for fringe, bead embroidery on fabric, and macramé accents where a steady, non-translucent blue anchors the palette.

Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 10/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.3 mm across with a 0.80 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.
