Czech Seed Bead 13/0 Cut Opaque Gold Yellow Strung Hank
Infuse your most intricate designs with a burst of sunshine using our Czech Seed Bead 13/0 Cut Opaque Gold Yellow Strung Hank. These premium "Charlotte Cuts" combine a rich, buttery yellow hue with a precision-faceted finish, making them a top-tier choice for vibrant floral patterns, traditional regalia, and high-end jewelry.
Product Overview
The Opaque Gold Yellow finish features a solid, saturated color that stays bright and bold across your entire project. Because these are authentic Czech "cut" beads, each one is crafted with a single flat facet. This traditional technique acts like a tiny mirror, allowing the beads to catch the light with a rhythmic "sparkle" that adds a layer of luxury and depth far beyond standard round beads.
Key Features

Genuine Charlotte Cut: Each bead features a single flat facet, a signature Czech hallmark designed to add a professional "flash" of light to your beadwork.
-
Petite 13/0 Sizing: At approximately 1.7 mm, these micro-beads offer incredible precision for high-definition patterns, intricate shading, and delicate needlework.
-
Vivid Opaque Finish: The dense, non-transparent gold-yellow color provides a consistent, bold tone that remains vibrant even on dark foundation materials.

The Czech Advantage
Czech 13/0 cuts are the gold standard for traditional indigenous beadwork and couture embroidery. Thanks to the unique flat facet, these beads sit closer to the foundation material, resulting in a smooth, professional surface that feels like a beaded fabric. At 13 grams per hank, you receive thousands of beads, providing the high volume needed for complex projects that require a flawless, high-definition finish.

-
Geometric Loom Work: Use as a high-contrast accent in loomed bracelets and tapestries to make patterns pop.
-
Regalia Embellishment: A foundational color for medallions and ceremonial pieces where a bright, light-catching yellow is essential.
Design Tip: Pair Opaque Gold Yellow with Opaque Medium Red and Opaque Black for a classic, high-impact palette, or blend it with Opaque Orange to create a stunning sunset-inspired gradient.
