Preciosa Ornela Seed Bead Opaque Indigo Blue 8/0

$1185 $1975

SKU: 8SB174

Preciosa Ornela 8/0 seed beads in opaque dark blue come three hanks deep, giving you serious working quantity of a color that earns its place in any rotation. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, these rocailles carry the consistent sizing and smooth stringing behavior that Czech glass is known for.

The opaque finish delivers a solid, non-translucent dark blue — no light passes through, so the color reads as flat and graphic, holding its own against bold palettes without competing for attention.

What to make with them

At 2.8–3.2 mm, 8/0s are a go-to for loom work and off-loom stitches like brick and herringbone where you want visible texture and good bead-to-bead coverage. They're also well-suited for fringe, bead embroidery on fabric, and stringing projects where a chunkier seed bead balances heavier focal elements.

Description

Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 08/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.9 mm across with a 0.90 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.
