Preciosa Ornela 8/0 seed beads in opaque matte black, sold in a 6-hank bulk quantity — cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, these rocailles bring a flat, light-absorbing black to any project that calls for serious depth without shine.
The special opaque matte finish drinks in light rather than reflecting it, giving the black a dense, velvety quality that reads as bold and graphic up close or at a distance.

What to make with them
The 8/0 size is a workhorse for loom and off-loom beadweaving — think Ndebele herringbone, brick stitch cuffs, or peyote panels where a slightly larger bead builds structure faster. They're also well-suited as spacer rounds in strung jewelry or as the dark anchor color in multi-strand seed bead necklaces.
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.
