Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte seed beads in opaque black — cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, these tiny 1.6–1.8 mm beads carry a single facet that catches light with a sharp, jewel-like glint no round rocaille can match.
The opaque black finish delivers solid, non-translucent color with strong graphic contrast — that one Charlotte cut turns each bead into a small point of light against a dark ground.

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.
