Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte seed beads in opaque dark purple come in a generous 18-hank quantity, giving serious beaders plenty of this rich, saturated color to work with. Charlottes get their signature sparkle from a single facet cut into each tiny bead, so even a solid opaque color catches light in a way a standard round rocaille simply doesn't.
The opaque finish delivers a dense, non-translucent dark purple — the color holds its ground in any design and reads as strong and graphic rather than soft or shimmery.

What to make with them
At 1.6–1.8 mm, these 13/0 Charlottes are well-suited for fine needle loomwork, peyote, and bead embroidery where the single-cut facets add texture and subtle dimension without bulk. The deep purple reads especially well in Gothic, Victorian, or whimsigoth-inspired pieces — think intricate beaded collars, embroidered cuffs, or dense fringe work where color saturation does the heavy lifting.
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.
