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.

What to make with them
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.
Description
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.
