Preciosa Ornela Seed Bead Opaque Slate Blue 8/0

$600 $1000

SKU: 8SB167R

Preciosa Ornela 8/0 Czech glass seed beads in Opaque Slate Blue come by the hank, giving you a serious working quantity of a color that earns its keep across a wide range of projects. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, these rocailles bring consistent sizing between 2.8 and 3.2 mm and the reliable quality Czech glass makers are known for.

The opaque finish delivers a solid, non-translucent slate blue that reads as a strong, graphic block of cool-toned color — no shimmer, no variation, just a steady, grounded hue that anchors a palette without competing with it.

What to make with them

The 8/0 size is a workhorse for loom and off-loom weaving techniques like peyote, brick stitch, and square stitch, where that slate blue holds its own in geometric patterns and color-blocked designs. It's also well-suited for stringing and bead crochet where you want a neutral-leaning cool tone that ties warmer accent beads together.

Description

Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 08/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.9 mm across with a 0.90 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.
