Preciosa Ornela 16/0 Maco Tubes in Transparent Cobalt are cut from glass tube stock in Bohemia, giving you a tiny cylindrical bead with clean, precise edges and a rich, saturated blue that holds its color all the way through.

The transparent finish lets light pass straight through the cobalt glass, so the color reads as deep and luminous rather than flat — think clear ocean water over dark rock.

What to make with them

At 1.3–1.4 mm, these micro tubes are well-suited for fine loomwork and needle weaving where their uniform tube shape locks into tight, even rows, and they're a natural choice for bead embroidery on fabric where a dense, jewel-toned cobalt field is the goal.

Note: Due to their extremely small size, these micro beads may not be suitable for all beading projects. We recommend using a beading tray and fine beading needle for best results.
