Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte seed beads in opaque light blue come by the hank, cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia — and that single facet cut is what sets Charlottes apart, catching light in a way a standard round rocaille simply doesn't.

The opaque finish delivers solid, non-translucent color that reads as a clean, confident light blue — no variation, no see-through — just strong graphic color that holds its own in any design.

What to make with them

Their tiny 1.6–1.8 mm size and signature sparkle make these Charlottes ideal for fine beadweaving techniques like peyote or brick stitch where that single-cut facet adds texture and shimmer without bulk; they're also a go-to for edging, fringe, and loom work where consistent color and a little extra glint make the detail work pop.
