Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte seed beads in opaque light blue, arriving in an 18-hank bulk quantity — the single-cut facet on each tiny 1.6–1.8 mm bead catches light in a way a standard round rocaille simply can't.
The opaque finish delivers a solid, non-translucent light blue that reads crisp and graphic — no depth ambiguity, just clean, confident color.

What to make with them
The Charlotte's single facet makes it a go-to for surface embroidery and bead weaving where you want subtle sparkle without the weight of a cut crystal — try it in peyote or brick stitch for beaded bezels, or work it into loomwork borders where that kiss of facet light adds dimension to geometric patterns.
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.
