These Preciosa Ornela size 10/0 seed beads in Sol-Gel Lavender come by the hank, cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia — and that Sol-Gel finish is rated durability 1, meaning it's built to hold up through everyday wear and frequent use without fading or flaking.
The Sol-Gel process bonds the lavender color with excellent resistance to outdoor exposure and wear, so the soft purple tone stays true on finished pieces rather than dulling over time.

What to make with them
Their 2.2–2.4 mm size and consistent tube-cut shape make these 10/0s well-suited for off-loom stitchwork like peyote or brick stitch where tight bead-to-bead registration matters, and the durability rating makes them a reliable choice for beaded jewelry — bracelets, chokers, or fringe earrings — that will actually get worn.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 10/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.3 mm across with a 0.80 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.
