These pressed round glass beads, manufactured in the Czech Republic, are from a new color line introduced by Preciosa Ornela in the fall of 2023. Their rubber-like matte finish is rich and opulent, with a velvety texture that gives them a nearly tactile quality. The vibrant and saturated but not overly bright colors will make even the simplest beadwork pop, and the universal round shape will work in all sorts of beading projects. Try them out if you are looking for top quality, unique finish and a sophisticated look.
