Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte True Cut seed beads in Opaque Gray arrive in an 18-hank quantity, giving you serious working supply of one of the most refined cuts in Czech glass — each tiny bead faceted with a single cut that catches light with a crisp, subtle sparkle.
The opaque gray finish delivers solid, non-translucent color with no variation or depth to compete with that faceted glint — just clean, graphic tone that reads confidently from a distance.

What to make with them
At 1.6–1.8 mm, these 13/0 Charlottes are a go-to for fine beadweaving techniques like peyote and brickwork where the single-cut facet adds texture without bulk, and the neutral gray makes them an ideal outline or shadow bead in pictorial loomwork or detailed embroidery.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 13/0. Each bead measures approximately 1.7 mm across with a 0.50 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.
