These 11/0 Czech glass seed beads from Preciosa Ornela are white-heart construction — cut from glass tube with a white core and a black outer layer — giving you 30g of a finish that's been a beadwork staple for centuries.
The white core glows subtly through the black outer layer, creating a vintage depth that shifts with the light rather than sitting flat on the surface.

What to make with them
Their 11/0 size and consistent cut make them well-suited for off-loom beadweaving techniques like peyote and brick stitch, where the contrast between core and outer color adds dimension to geometric or floral motifs; they're also a strong choice for bead embroidery on dark fabric where that inner warmth reads beautifully up close.
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.
