Preciosa Ornela 10/0 seed beads in Metallic Gold come in a 5-hank quantity, giving you serious working volume of these cut-glass Czech glass rocailles with a solid, high-shine metallic surface. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, they run 2.2–2.4 mm and carry a durability rating of 5 (very delicate), best for special-occasion pieces and low-friction spots.
The metallic finish lays down a solid, unbroken gold surface that catches light with strong, dramatic shine — warm and rich without any transparency softening the effect.
The 10/0 size is a workhorse for loom weaving, peyote, and brick stitch where you want that gold to read as a continuous metallic field across geometric or Art Deco-inspired patterns. They're also well-proportioned for stringing layered necklaces and fringe earrings where the cut glass tube construction adds just enough facet to keep the light moving.

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.
