Preciosa Ornela 8/0 opaque black seed beads in a generous 125g loose pack — cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, these rocailles give you a reliable, consistent bead in a size that works hard across a wide range of techniques.

What to make with them

Size 8/0 (2.8–3.2 mm) is a go-to for bead weaving patterns where you want more visual weight than an 11/0 — think Peyote or brick-stitch cuffs with strong graphic contrast, strung necklaces layered for a statement look, or as a sturdy spacer bead in loom work and right-angle weave.

Description

Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 08/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.9 mm across with a 0.90 mm (approx.) 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.
