Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte True Cut seed beads in transparent grey come one hank deep — that single facet ground into each tiny bead catches light in a way a standard rocaille simply can't, giving your threadwork a quiet, built-in shimmer.
The transparent finish means you're seeing straight through clear grey glass, so the color shifts with whatever light hits it — cool and glassy in shade, brighter and more luminous in direct light.

What to make with them
At 1.6–1.8 mm, these 13/0 Charlottes are ideal for fine needle lace, peyote, and bead embroidery where that single-cut sparkle reads as texture across a finished surface; they also work beautifully as accent rows between matte or opaque beads in Victorian-inspired or gothic collar and cuff work.
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.
