$645 $1075

SKU: 8SB172R

Preciosa Ornela 8/0 seed beads in opaque light blue, sold by the hank — cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, these rocailles bring consistent sizing (2.8–3.2 mm) and reliable color payoff to any bead-intensive technique.

The opaque finish delivers a solid, non-translucent blue that reads clearly even in dense stitch work — no light needed to activate it, what you see is what you get.

What to make with them

Their 8/0 size makes them a natural choice for peyote and brick stitch cuffs where you want a bold, graphic field of color, and they work equally well strung into knotted necklaces or woven on a loom for retro-inspired geometric patterns.

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.
