These are Preciosa Ornela 1/0 seed beads in White Opal, cut from glass tube in Bohemia and sold here as a full 18-strand pack — a serious quantity for weavers, embroiderers, and textile artists who go through large whites regularly.
The opal finish gives the glass a translucent, softly luminous quality — not a flat white, but one with an inner glow that shifts subtly in changing light.

At 6.3–6.8 mm, these larger rocailles are well suited to bold loom-woven bands, statement fringe on bags or garments, and bridal or couture embroidery where a gentle, light-catching white reads beautifully against fabric.
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.
