Bracelet made of PRECIOSA Rola™ and PRECIOSA Rocailles

Preciosa Ornela has introduced a new technology in the production of its traditional Czech seed beads; Quality Cut. Its advantage lies in its greater accuracy which means that the seed beads better adhere to the set dimensions. The first registered seed bead manufactured using this technology is PRECIOSA Rola™, which we offer in dimensions of 5 x 3.5 mm, 7 x 3.5 mm and 10 x 5 mm. It uses the cylindrical shape of thick glass tubes with a larger hole separated into short sections. Your playful side will enjoy the carnival of colors predominantly from the ranks of the exclusive rocaille range, which especially includes PRECIOSA Rocailles with stripes and PRECIOSA Cornelian.
