Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte seed beads in powder blue bring the precision of a single-cut facet to a classic rocaille form — that one cut catches light in a way a standard round bead simply can't, giving even dense beadwork a quiet, lively sparkle. At 18 hanks, this is a serious working quantity for weavers and embroiderers who go through fine beads fast.
The opaque powder blue finish reads as a clean, solid color with no translucency — a soft, airy blue that holds its own in graphic patterns without competing with neighboring colors.

What to make with them
The 13/0 Charlotte's small scale and faceted edge make it a natural for fine loom work, needle-woven pieces like peyote or brick stitch, and tambour or surface embroidery where that single cut adds texture without bulk. The opaque powder blue is particularly well-suited to geometric motifs, coastal-themed jewelry, and vintage-style beaded collars or cuffs where a consistent, matte-adjacent color field is the goal.
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.
