Preciosa Ornela Seed Bead Gunmetal 1/0

These Preciosa Ornela 1/0 seed beads in Gunmetal Sfinx are the large-scale, high-drama option serious beaders reach for — cut from glass tube in Bohemia and finished with a high-resistance coating that holds its color through regular wear. At 6.3–6.8 mm, they're substantial enough to anchor a design on their own, and you get 8 strands to work with.

The Sfinx coating lays a deep, opaque gunmetal tone over natural glass — dark, cool, and quietly metallic without a mirror shine.

What to make with them

Their size and weight make them well-suited for chunky loom-woven cuffs, knotted statement necklaces, and macramé-bead hybrid work where you want a bead that reads from across the room. They also work as bold spacers between larger focal pieces in multi-strand assemblies.
