Preciosa Ornela 8/0 Czech glass seed beads in metallic silver come by the hank, giving you a serious working supply of a finish that pulls real visual weight. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, these rocailles bring a solid, high-shine surface to any project that needs to catch the light and mean it.

What to make with them

At 2.8–3.2 mm, these 8/0s are a workhorse size for bead weaving structures like peyote cuffs, herringbone ropes, and right-angle weave panels where the metallic surface creates bold contrast against matte or crystal elements. They also loom and stitch beautifully into statement collars, fringe drops, and woven belts where a cool-toned metallic ground sets the tone for the whole piece.

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.
