Preciosa Ornela 8/0 seed beads in opaque brick red mahogany, sold by the hank — a rich, grounded red that earns its place in serious color work. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, these rocailles deliver consistent sizing between 2.8 and 3.2 mm and the reliable thread passage that Czech glass is known for.
The opaque finish gives you a solid, non-translucent color — no light bleeding through, just a dense, saturated brick red that reads boldly against neutrals and holds its own next to deep jewel tones.

What to make with them
Their 8/0 size makes them well-suited for peyote and brick stitch cuffs where you want strong color blocking, and they work equally well strung in multi-strand necklaces or woven into loom pieces where that moody mahogany red can anchor a whole palette.
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.
