These 11/0 True Cut seed beads from Preciosa Ornela are cut from glass tube rather than drawn round, giving each tiny bead a faceted edge that catches light the way a standard rocaille simply can't. Light turquoise blue in an opaque finish, they bring a clean, cool color to any beadwork that needs a little shimmer without going full metallic.

The Sfinx coating locks that soft turquoise tone onto the natural glass with high resistance to wear, so the color stays true through regular handling and doesn't fade or flake the way lesser surface treatments can.

What to make with them

The faceted cut makes these especially effective in peyote and brick stitch, where the angled surfaces line up to create a subtle, almost woven glint across flat beadwork. They also work beautifully as accent beads in loom work or strung alongside smooth rocailles for textural contrast in coastal- or mermaid-inspired jewelry.
