$1170 $1950

SKU: 8SB198R

Preciosa Ornela 8/0 seed beads in opaque dark purple, sold by the hank — Czech glass cut from the tube in Bohemia for the consistent sizing and smooth threading that experienced beaders rely on.

The opaque finish delivers a solid, non-translucent color that reads as a deep, rich purple with no light bleed — strong and graphic whether you're working in bright light or dim.

What to make with them

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.
