Preciosa Ornela True Cut seed beads in size 11/0 come in a generous 6-hank quantity, and that single facet ground into each bead is what sets them apart from a standard round rocaille — it catches and redirects light in a way smooth glass simply can't.
The transparent sapphire finish is clear, see-through glass that lets light pass straight through, so the blue reads differently in shade than in sunlight and shifts with every angle of the facet.

What to make with them
True Cuts work especially well in peyote and brick stitch, where the facets align along the surface and create a subtle, continuous shimmer across flat beadwork — try them in a woven cuff or a herringbone rope where that extra sparkle reads as texture rather than flash.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 11/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.1 mm across with a 0.70 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.
