Preciosa Ornela 10/0 seed beads in opaque pale turquoise blue, sold by the hank, cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia — a reliable, consistent bead that serious makers reach for when a project calls for a clean, true color that holds up to everyday wear. Preciosa rates this color 1 (very resistant) for durability, so it holds up to everyday wear and frequent use.
The opaque finish delivers a solid, non-translucent color — no light bleed, no variation — just a steady, grounded pale turquoise blue that reads clearly in any design.
At 2.2–2.4 mm, these 10/0s are a go-to for loom and off-loom beadweaving like peyote or brick stitch where color blocking and graphic pattern work shine; they're also well-suited for stringing, fringe work, and Southwestern or coastal-inspired embroidery where an opaque turquoise reads as a classic accent.

Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 10/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.3 mm across with a 0.80 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.
