Preciosa Ornela True Cut seed beads in size 15/0 bring a faceted edge to the smallest workhorse in your bead collection — that single cut catches light in a way a standard round rocaille simply can't, and in opaque black, the effect is sharp and graphic rather than glittery. You're getting a full hank of Czech glass made from cut glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia.
The opaque black finish delivers solid, non-translucent color with no depth or glow — just clean, high-contrast black that holds its own against any palette and makes geometric or graphic patterning read with real clarity.

What to make with them
At 15/0, these are a natural for fine peyote or brick stitch work where that faceted surface adds subtle texture without bulk, and they're a go-to accent bead for bead embroidery on dark or jewel-toned fabric where consistent opaque coverage matters. They also work beautifully as a spacer or fill bead in loom work when you want a strong graphic line.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 15/0. Each bead measures approximately 1.5 mm across with a 0.40 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.
