Preciosa Ornela 10/0 opaque black seed beads, cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, and sold by the hank — a reliable, high-contrast workhorse that anchors color, defines pattern edges, and holds its own as the main event.
The opaque finish delivers a solid, non-translucent black that reads as a true graphic tone — no light passes through, so the color stays consistent and bold whether you're working under studio lighting or wearing the finished piece in full sun.
Their 2.2–2.4 mm size makes them a natural fit for loom-woven bands, peyote or brick stitch geometric panels, and beadwork that relies on sharp contrast — use them to outline motifs in Native-style powwow regalia, lay down shadow rows in tapestry-style pieces, or string them as a grounding element in multi-strand necklaces alongside brighter seed beads.

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.
