These 4mm matte black pressed glass rounds from Preciosa Ornela come 1500 pieces to a pack — a serious working quantity for makers who use black as a foundation, an accent, or a full statement. Bohemian-made with a permanent opaque finish, they're built to hold up through wear and handling.

The frosted, non-reflective surface gives the black a flat, velvety depth rather than any shine — a quieter, more tactile black than you'd get from a glossy or AB finish.

What to make with them

At 4mm, these rounds are a natural fit for bead weaving patterns like peyote and brick stitch where a consistent, neutral anchor bead keeps complex color work from competing with itself. They're also well-suited to strung necklaces and bracelets where the matte surface adds textural contrast alongside metallic or fire-polished elements.
