Preciosa Ornela's 8/0 White Heart Cobalt seed beads bring a classic Bohemian technique to your work: a white glass core overlaid with deep cobalt, cut from glass tube in Czechia for clean, consistent shape. The 50g quantity gives you enough to commit to a serious project without rationing every bead.
The white heart construction gives the cobalt a luminous, slightly vintage depth — the color reads rich and saturated rather than flat, with an inner glow that shifts subtly depending on the light.

What to make with them
At 8/0, these are a solid choice for loom weaving, bead embroidery on denim or leather, and strung necklaces where you want a bead with enough presence to carry a design on its own. They also work well mixed into fringe work or woven alongside larger focal beads where that cobalt depth can anchor the palette.
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.
