Preciosa Ornela Seed Bead Charlotte Cut Blue Iris Aurora Borealis Finish 13/0

Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte Cut seed beads in Blue Iris AB arrive in a generous 18-hank quantity, giving you the tiny single-cut facet that throws light in a way a standard round seed bead simply can't. At 1.6–1.8 mm, these are among the smallest Charlottes you'll work with, and that miniature scale makes every stitch count.

The opaque blue base carries a strong AB iris finish that shifts across a dramatic rainbow spectrum — deep teal one moment, violet and gold the next — so the color reads differently depending on the angle and the light.

What to make with them

Their single-cut facet and fine 13/0 size make these ideal for needle weaving techniques like peyote and brick stitch where you want a surface that shimmers rather than sits flat, and they're a natural choice for embroidering dense beadwork onto fabric — couture-style floral motifs, sea-creature panels, or festival headpieces — where that iris flash adds depth without adding bulk.
