These Preciosa Ornela 1/0 opaque black Czech glass seed beads come in at 6.3–6.8 mm — a chunky, substantial size that commands attention — and arrive ready to work in a set of 8 strands. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, they carry the consistency and quality Czech glass makers are known for.
The opaque finish delivers solid, non-translucent black with no light bleed-through, giving designs a sharp, graphic edge that holds its own against metals, textiles, and other beads.

What to make with them
At this size, they're well-suited for bold statement necklaces, chunky woven cuffs using peyote or square stitch, and macramé-and-bead combinations where the bead needs to read clearly from a distance. They also work as strong spacers or focal accents in loom work where a high-contrast anchor point ties the design together.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 01/0. Each bead measures approximately 6.6 mm across with a 2.00 mm 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.
