Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte True Cut seed beads in White Opal deliver the finest single-facet cut in Czech glass — each tiny bead ground to one precise flat face that catches light with a sparkle no standard round can match. At 1.6–1.8 mm, a full hank gives you serious working quantity for detail-intensive projects.
The opal finish reads as translucent, opalescent glass with a soft inner glow — white that isn't flat or stark, but quietly luminous.

What to make with them
Charlotte True Cuts are the go-to for heirloom-quality bead embroidery, where that single facet adds shimmer to bridal appliqué, lace edging, and couture needlework without overwhelming delicate designs. They also shine in fine peyote or herringbone weave when you want a fabric with subtle sparkle — think woven cuffs, collars, or fringe where light movement matters.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 13/0. Each bead measures approximately 1.7 mm across with a 0.50 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.
