Preciosa Ornela Seed Bead Sfinx Navy Blue 10/0

Preciosa Ornela's 10/0 Navy Blue Sfinx seed beads are cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, giving each bead a faceted edge that catches light the way a smooth round bead simply can't. The opaque navy holds its color under the Sfinx high-resistance coating, so the depth you see on the strand is the depth you'll get in finished work.

The Sfinx coating locks a rich, dark navy onto the natural glass surface, delivering a consistently opaque color with no translucency softening the tone — what you see is a serious, saturated blue. Preciosa rates this finish 2 (resistant) for durability: it holds up to regular wear with normal care.

What to make with them

At 2.2–2.4 mm, these 10/0 cuts work beautifully in peyote and brick stitch where the faceted edges create a subtle texture across flat panels, and they're a strong choice for bead embroidery on statement collars or cuffs where the dense navy reads as a grounding neutral against metallics or brighter accent beads.
