Preciosa Ornela 8/0 Czech glass seed beads in transparent ruby — cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, and sold by the hank for projects that call for serious quantity and consistent quality.
The transparent finish lets light pass straight through the glass, giving the ruby color a lit-from-within depth that shifts between rich cranberry and bright cherry depending on your light source.
At 2.8–3.2 mm, these 8/0s are a go-to for loom and off-loom beadweaving where you want bold color coverage, and they work equally well strung as spacers between larger focal beads in necklace and bracelet designs.

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.
