Preciosa Ornela Seed Bead Charlotte Opaque Slate Blue

$487 $812

SKU: 13SB167-CR

Size 13/0 Charlotte seed beads from Preciosa Ornela in opaque slate blue — the single-cut facet that defines a true Charlotte catches light with a subtle sparkle that a standard round seed bead simply can't match. One hank gives you a serious working supply of this cool, grounded blue.

The opaque finish delivers a flat, solid slate blue with no translucency — the color reads consistently across your work, making it a strong choice wherever you want a reliable, graphic tone rather than a glowing or shifting effect.

What to make with them

Charlottes shine in fine off-loom needlework like peyote and brick stitch, where that single facet adds a quiet glint to dense beadwork such as cuffs, collars, and medallions. Slate blue also pulls well as a shadow or outline color in loom-woven geometric patterns, giving crisp definition to borders and negative space.

Description

Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 13/0. Each bead measures approximately 1.7 mm across with a 0.50 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.
