Preciosa Ornela 11/0 seed beads in Opaque Soft Gray with a Terra Pearl finish, sold in a 6-hank quantity — this is the workhorse gray for makers who want serious yardage and a color that plays well with nearly every palette. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, these rocailles carry a durability rating of 1, meaning they're built for everyday-wear pieces that actually get worn.
The Terra coating lays an earthy, ceramic-like surface over the soft gray base, giving each bead the quiet, handmade quality of unglazed stoneware — matte enough to feel organic, with just enough pearl warmth to keep it from going flat.

What to make with them
Six hanks gives you enough to commit to a full peyote or brick-stitch vessel, a woven cuff with room for sampling, or a dense fringe neckpiece where consistent color across hundreds of beads really matters. The neutral gray tone also makes these a reliable outline or background bead in loom work and right-angle weave when you need a shade that recedes without disappearing.
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.
