Preciosa Ornela 10/0 seed beads in opaque powder blue, sold by the hank, are cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia — the region that set the standard for rocaille seed beads. At 2.2–2.4 mm, this size threads up quickly and works across a wide range of needle gauges.
The opaque matte finish delivers a solid, non-translucent field of soft blue — no light passes through, so the color reads flat and graphic, holding its own against bold patterns and busy color combinations.

What to make with them
Loom-woven bands and peyote cuffs benefit from the consistent opacity, where every bead contributes equally to geometric or pictorial designs. The size and color also suit powwow regalia beadwork and bead embroidery where a calm, even mid-tone blue anchors the overall palette.
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.
