Preciosa Ornela 11/0 gunmetal seed beads from Bohemia, Czechia, sold by the hank — a workhorse neutral that reads dark and sophisticated without going flat black.
The opaque/luster finish gives the gunmetal color a subtle surface sheen, so the beads catch light with a quiet metallic warmth rather than a stark matte finish.

What to make with them
These 2.0–2.2 mm rocailles are a natural fit for bead embroidery on dark or jewel-toned fabric, and their neutral gunmetal tone makes them reliable for peyote or brick stitch work where you want depth and shadow without a high-shine metallic dominating the palette.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 11/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.1 mm across with a 0.70 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.
