These are Preciosa Ornela 1/0 seed beads in opaque white — cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, and sold by the strand at approximately 100 pieces. At 6.3–6.8 mm, size 1/0 sits on the larger end of the seed bead spectrum, giving you a bold, substantial bead that holds its own in statement work.
The opaque finish delivers solid, non-translucent white — clean and graphic, with no depth or shimmer to complicate the color read.

What to make with them
Their size makes them well-suited for chunky loom-woven bands, knotted fiber-and-bead necklaces, and macramé accents where a standard 11/0 would get lost in the weave. They're also a natural fit for bridal accessories and slow-stitch textile embellishment where a crisp white presence is the whole point.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 01/0. Each bead measures approximately 6.6 mm across with a 2.00 mm 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.
