Size 13/0 Charlotte seed beads from Preciosa Ornela in opaque slate blue — the single-cut facet that defines a true Charlotte catches light with a subtle sparkle that a standard round seed bead simply can't match. One hank gives you a serious working supply of this cool, grounded blue.

The opaque finish delivers a flat, solid slate blue with no translucency — the color reads consistently across your work, making it a strong choice wherever you want a reliable, graphic tone rather than a glowing or shifting effect.

What to make with them

Charlottes shine in fine off-loom needlework like peyote and brick stitch, where that single facet adds a quiet glint to dense beadwork such as cuffs, collars, and medallions. Slate blue also pulls well as a shadow or outline color in loom-woven geometric patterns, giving crisp definition to borders and negative space.
