These Preciosa Ornela 6/0 White Heart Black seed beads are cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, giving each bead a crisp faceted edge and a 50g bag's worth of serious design potential. The white-core construction is a time-tested glassmaking technique that adds visual complexity you simply can't get from a solid-color bead.
A white inner core glows through the black outer layer, creating that characteristic vintage depth — the color shifts subtly depending on the light and angle, landing somewhere between inky and luminous.

What to make with them
At 3.7–4.3 mm, these E beads are a natural fit for bead weaving projects where you want a bold graphic contrast — think Peyote or brick stitch cuffs with strong black-and-white patterning. They're also well-suited for stringing and knotting work, fringe embellishment on garments, or as a grounding element woven into fiber and textile pieces.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 06/0- E Beads. Each bead measures approximately 4.1 mm across with a 1.10 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.
