Preciosa Ornela 8/0 Czech glass seed beads in Opaque Lilac with a Terra Pearl coating come by the hank, giving you a generous working supply of a color that earns its place in serious projects. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, these carry a durability rating of 4 (delicate), so avoid friction, chemicals and prolonged skin contact.
The Terra Pearl finish layers an earthy coating over opaque lilac glass, landing somewhere between a matte ceramic and a soft luster — closer to a handmade pottery glaze than a high-shine pearl.

What to make with them

Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 08/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.9 mm across with a 0.90 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.
