Preciosa Ornela 11/0 seed beads in Terra Purple arrive in a generous 6-hank quantity, giving you the volume you need for large-scale weaving, loom work, or embroidery without constantly reordering. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, these rocailles carry the consistent sizing and reliable hole alignment that serious bead work demands.
The Terra coating lays an earthy, ceramic-like surface over an opaque purple base, landing somewhere between a weathered glaze and a hand-thrown pottery shard — matte-adjacent but with quiet depth.
The moody, organic tone works especially well in bracelets, woven cuffs, and peyote or brick stitch pieces inspired by nature, gothic, or cottagecore aesthetics. They also read beautifully in bead embroidery on fabric when you want rich color without a flashy finish competing with your design. Preciosa rates this finish 3 (medium resistance) for durability, so keep it away from abrasives and harsh chemicals and expect some surface wear in high-friction pieces.

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.
