These are Preciosa Ornela Czech glass bugle beads in gunmetal, Size #3 (2x7mm), sold in a bulk quantity of 10 hanks — a serious supply of a workhorse bead in one of the most versatile neutrals a maker can have.
The Special Opaque/Luster finish gives the gunmetal colorway a dense, light-catching sheen — dark and smoky on the surface, with just enough reflectivity to keep it from reading flat.

What to make with them
Their tubular shape makes them ideal for fringe work, loomwork borders, and linear embroidery details where you want a strong directional line; they're also a natural fit for bugle-and-seed combinations in Victorian-inspired collars, Gothic jewelry, or edgy textile embellishment where a moody neutral does the heavy lifting.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size #3-02x07mm. 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.
