Preciosa Ornela Seed Bead Gold Iris Color #68388 11/0

$662 $1103

SKU: 11SB853-RR

Preciosa Ornela 11/0 Czech glass seed beads in Gold Iris (#68388) come in a full hank, cut from glass tube in Bohemia for the consistent sizing and smooth thread passage that serious beadwork demands. That iris finish takes a straightforward gold and gives it the kind of shifting, iridescent depth that makes finished pieces look far more complex than the hours put in.

The solid metallic surface delivers strong shine with a warm gold base, while the iris treatment layers in a spectral play of color — think molten gold with a peacock-feather shift depending on the light.

What to make with them

These are a natural fit for peyote and brick stitch work where the metallic iris catches and moves with every angle of a cuff or collar piece. They also shine in loom-woven bands and fringe earrings where the color shift does the heavy lifting in a design built on repetition.

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.
