Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte True Cut seed beads in Transparent Ruby come in a 1-hank quantity, giving you a serious supply of one of the most light-catching cuts in Czech glass. That single facet ground into each tiny bead creates a sparkle that a standard rocaille simply can't match.

The transparent finish means light travels straight through the ruby glass and bounces off the cut face, producing a glowing, gem-like red with real depth rather than a flat surface color.

What to make with them

At 1.6–1.8 mm, these 13/0 Charlottes are ideal for fine bead embroidery where that single-cut facet adds subtle shimmer along edging and fill work, and they shine equally well in off-loom stitches like peyote or brick stitch when you want a jewel-toned textile with a hint of sparkle woven in.
