Preciosa Ornela Charlotte seed beads in size 13/0 are cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, giving each tiny bead a single facet that catches light with a precision flat-cut glass can't match — and the Terra Metallic Silver finish earns a durability rating of 1, meaning it holds up to everyday wear and frequent use without fading.
The Terra coating delivers an earthy, artisan ceramic quality to the silver tone — less flashy mirror, more the quiet depth of aged metal or raw mineral, with just enough sheen to read as metallic.

What to make with them
The single-cut facet makes 13/0 Charlottes a go-to for adding texture and low-key sparkle to fine beadweaving like peyote and herringbone, where they sit alongside larger beads as accent rows; they're equally well-suited to strung fringe on earrings or woven into kumihimo cords where the Terra finish reads as an organic, industrial counterpoint to brighter materials.
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.
