Preciosa Ornela 11/0 opaque black seed beads in a generous 250g quantity — cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, these rocailles deliver the consistent sizing and reliable coverage that serious bead work demands.
The opaque finish gives you a solid, non-translucent black that reads as graphic and definitive — no light bleed, no ambiguity, just strong color.
Use them as a foundation color in loom or off-loom beadweaving where high contrast is the point, or work them into fringe, netting, and peyote stitch projects where that flat, matte-black presence anchors bolder accent colors.

Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 11/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.1 mm across with a 0.70 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.
