Preciosa Ornela Seed Bead Opaque Powder Blue 8/0

$645 $1075

SKU: 8SB170R

Preciosa Ornela 8/0 seed beads in opaque powder blue, sold by the hank — this is a workhorse size in a color that earns its place in serious bead work. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, these rocailles bring consistent sizing (2.8–3.2 mm) and reliable hole alignment to any technique that demands it.

The opaque finish delivers a flat, solid powder blue with no translucency — the color reads clearly from a distance, making it a strong choice wherever you want a defined, graphic result rather than shimmer or depth.

What to make with them

At 8/0, these beads work beautifully in loom and off-loom weaving where their larger face lets the powder blue register as a true color block — think geometric Ndebele or bold peyote panels. They're also a natural fit for stringing and knotting projects where you want a chunkier seed bead to anchor a design alongside larger focal pieces.

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.
