About this product
Preciosa Ornela 13/0 Charlotte Cut seed beads in Gunmetal deliver the tiny, faceted sparkle that makes fine beadwork come alive — each bead cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, with a single facet that catches and scatters light in a way a standard round simply can't.
Despite the opaque Gunmetal color sitting firmly in the grey-black family, the transparent finish classification means the glass itself has a glassy, light-interactive quality that gives this dark shade depth and a subtle sheen rather than a flat, chalky surface.

What to make with them
Their 1.6–1.8 mm size makes these Charlottes ideal for fine peyote or brick stitch work where that single-cut facet adds texture and low-key glimmer to Victorian-inspired collars, Gothic lace cuffs, or intricate fringe — and they're a natural choice for needle weaving where you want a moody, neutral tone to anchor bolder accent beads.
