Preciosa Ornela True Cut seed beads in deep cobalt with an AB finish bring a faceted edge to the classic 11/0 rocaille — each bead is cut from a glass tube, adding a single facet that catches light in a way a round seed bead simply can't. A full hank gives you serious working quantity of a rich, saturated blue.
The aurora borealis coating lays a shifting iridescent film over the deep cobalt base, so the colour moves between blue, violet and green depending on how the light hits the cut faces.

What to make with them
The combination of cut facets and an AB coating makes these unusually lively in peyote, brick stitch and loomwork, where the iridescence shifts as the piece moves; they're a strong choice for night-sky and oceanic palettes, and hold their own as an accent against metallics.
