Preciosa Ornela 10/0 Czech glass seed beads in opaque matte black, sold in a 5-hank quantity — a workhorse color in a finish that means business.
The matte finish absorbs light rather than reflecting it, giving this opaque black a flat, velvety depth that reads as quietly bold rather than flashy.

What to make with them
Size 10/0 is a reliable middle-ground for loom and off-loom beadweaving — think peyote, brick stitch, or herringbone — and the neutral black works as a standalone palette or as a grounding contrast color alongside metallics, deep jewel tones, or bright pops in more complex patterns.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 10/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.3 mm across with a 0.80 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.
