Preciosa Ornela Seed Bead Opaque Indigo Blue 8/0

$615 $1025

SKU: 8SB174R

Preciosa Ornela 8/0 seed beads in opaque dark blue come by the hank, giving you a serious working supply of this Bohemian glass cut from the tube for consistent shape and sizing between 2.8 and 3.2 mm. Dark blue this solid and saturated earns its place as a workhorse color — the kind you reach for again and again.

The opaque finish delivers a flat, dense color with no light passing through, so the dark blue reads as strong and graphic whether it's catching light or sitting in shadow.

What to make with them

The 8/0 size is a natural fit for loom weaving and two-drop peyote where you want bold color blocking, and it threads up easily for stringing projects like multi-strand bracelets or coastal-inspired necklaces where that deep blue anchors lighter accent beads.

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.
