Preciosa Ornela 11/0 seed beads in opaque teal blue, sold in a 6-hank quantity — this is the workhorse colorway that earns its place in serious bead work. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, these rocaille seed beads deliver the consistent sizing and smooth stringing that high-volume projects demand.
The opaque finish gives you a solid, non-translucent teal blue — saturated and graphic, with no light bleed to soften the edges of your color work.
The 2.0–2.2 mm size and uniform shape make these ideal for loom weaving, peyote, and brick stitch where color blocking and clean lines do the heavy lifting. Six hanks gives you enough yardage to commit to large tapestry-style pieces, fringe-heavy statement necklaces, or a full run of coordinating components without running short mid-project.

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.
