Preciosa Ornela Seed Bead Opaque Powder Blue 8/0

$2175 $3625

SKU: 8SB170

These Preciosa Ornela 8/0 seed beads in opaque powder blue come in a generous 6-hank quantity, giving you serious working volume for large-scale or repeat projects. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, they carry the consistent sizing and reliable hole alignment that Czech glass has been known for.

The opaque finish delivers a solid, non-translucent powder blue — soft enough to read as airy and calm, with enough color density to hold its own in graphic, high-contrast designs.

What to make with them

At 2.8–3.2 mm, size 8/0 beads are a natural fit for loom weaving and off-loom stitches like peyote or brick stitch where you want visible color coverage without bulk. They also work well strung as spacers in multi-strand bracelets or knotted necklaces where that quiet blue needs room to breathe.

Description

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.
