Preciosa Ornela Seed Bead True Cut Brown Iris Aurora Borealis Finish 11/0

Preciosa Ornela True Cut seed beads in size 11/0 come with a single facet cut into each bead, catching light at a different angle than a standard round rocaille — and this six-hank quantity gives you serious working supply. Brown Iris AB means you're starting with an opaque warm brown base that erupts into full-spectrum rainbow iridescence the moment light hits it.

The strong AB/iris finish layers dramatic multicolor rainbow reflection over the earthy brown opacity, so the beads shift and flare with movement rather than sitting flat.

What to make with them

The True Cut facet makes these especially effective in peyote and brick stitch, where each bead face turns slightly and the iris finish creates a rippling, almost metallic shimmer across the finished surface. They're also a go-to for fringe, loom work, and embroidery where you want warm, moody color with built-in sparkle.
