Miyuki's 11/0 Hex Cut Delicas in Palladium Plate are precision tube-cut Japanese glass beads that combine the crisp, faceted geometry of a hex cut with a cool metallic finish — giving your work an edge that plain rounds simply can't match.
The Special Palladium Plate finish reads as a cool, silvery-grey metal tone with genuine depth, sitting firmly in the grey-and-black family without veering warm.
The flat facets on these 2.0–2.2 mm hex cuts catch light at every angle, making them especially effective in peyote and brick stitch where the facets line up to create a subtle, almost chainmail-like shimmer across the fabric; they're equally strong worked into loomwork borders or woven into kumihimo braids where a metallic accent needs to hold its own against darker materials.
