Preciosa Ornela True Cut seed beads in transparent cobalt bring a faceted edge to the classic 11/0 rocaille — each bead is cut from a glass tube, adding a single facet that catches light in a way a round seed bead simply can't. A full hank gives you serious working quantity for any project that calls for that deep, saturated blue.
The transparent finish means you're seeing straight through to the cobalt glass itself — clear, glassy depth with light passing through and bouncing off the cut facet at the same time.

What to make with them
True cuts work especially well in peyote and brick stitch, where their facets line up to create a subtle shimmer across the fabric of the piece; they're also a strong choice for fringe and stringing work where individual beads catch the light as they move.
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.
