Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte seed beads in transparent deep cobalt blue bring that single-cut facet that sets Charlottes apart — one tiny flat spot ground into each bead catches light in a way a standard round rocaille simply can't. This listing covers 18 hanks of Czech glass cut from the tube in Bohemia, Czechia, so you're set up for serious yardage on any thread-intensive project.

The transparent finish means deep cobalt blue reads as pure, saturated color with a glassy clarity — light passes straight through and the Charlotte's signature facet throws it back as a sharp little spark.

What to make with them

At 13/0, these are ideal for fine needle weaving techniques like peyote or brick stitch where the Charlotte facet adds surface shimmer without changing your bead count, and they're a go-to for embroidery work on fabric or leather where that single cut catches directional light across a stitched surface.
