Preciosa Ornela Seed Bead White Sfinx 1/0

These 1/0 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass seed beads are among the largest rocailles you'll work with — measuring 6.3 to 6.8 mm and cut from glass tube in Bohemia — making them a go-to when you need a seed bead with real presence. You get 8 strands of opaque white with a Sfinx finish, a high-resistance coating engineered to keep color stable on natural glass over time.

The Sfinx coating delivers a consistent, long-lasting opaque white directly on the natural glass surface — clean and solid-looking without the chalky fragility of standard painted finishes.

What to make with them

At this size, these beads work beautifully as a primary bead in statement necklaces and chunky woven pieces where a standard 11/0 would simply disappear — try them in kumihimo braids, large-scale peyote panels, or strung collar designs where the white reads crisp against darker thread or cord. Their durability rating also makes them a solid choice for bracelets and wearable pieces that see regular use.
