Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte seed beads in opaque black, sold in a generous 100g quantity — the single-cut facet on each tiny bead catches light in a way a standard round seed bead simply doesn't, adding quiet sparkle to deep, dark work.
The opaque finish delivers a solid, non-translucent black with no light bleed-through, so the color reads as dense and graphic whether you're working under bright studio lights or wearing the finished piece in low light.

What to make with them
Their size and faceted cut make these Charlottes ideal for fine beadweaving techniques like peyote and brick stitch where that single-cut glint builds texture across a surface, and they're a go-to for embroidery outlines, fringe details, and edging work on pieces where a matte round would look flat.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 13/0. Each bead measures approximately 1.7 mm across with a 0.50 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.
