Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte True Cut seed beads in opaque black — the single-facet cut catches light with a crisp, intermittent sparkle that a standard round rocaille simply can't match, and at 1.6–1.8 mm these tiny workhorses pack serious visual punch into fine-scale work. You're getting a full hank of Czech glass made in Bohemia, Czechia from cut glass tube.
The opaque finish delivers a solid, non-translucent black — no light bleeds through, so the color reads as dense and graphic whether you're working in bright studio light or dim display conditions.

What to make with them
The Charlotte's single-facet cut makes it a go-to for loom and off-loom beadweaving — peyote, brick stitch, and square stitch all benefit from that subtle glint along the surface plane. They're equally well-suited to fine needle beadwork on fabric, tambour embroidery, and fringe where the cut faces animate movement.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 13/0. Each bead measures approximately 1.7 mm across with a 0.50 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.
