These Preciosa Ornela 1/0 opaque black Czech glass seed beads come in a generous 100g quantity and measure 6.3–6.8 mm, making them one of the chunkier sizes in the rocaille family — substantial enough to work up quickly and hold their own as a design element rather than a background player.
The opaque finish delivers solid, non-translucent black with no light bleed-through, giving finished pieces a clean, graphic punch that reads clearly from a distance.

What to make with them
Their size makes them well-suited for statement necklaces, chunky loom-woven bands, and fiber arts like kumihimo where a bold bead scale adds visual weight; they're also a natural fit for macramé accents or knotted designs where the bead needs to anchor the eye.
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.
