Read more15SD172-ABR: DBS0167 Delica Opaque LT Sapphire AB 15/0 - 9GM is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Miyuki's 15/0 Delica beads are precision tube-cut for exceptionally uniform sizing and consistent holes — and this light sapphire AB colorway delivers that reliability in a 9g retail quantity.
The opaque light sapphire base reads as a clear, cool blue, while the AB finish lays a strong multicolor rainbow reflection over the surface that shifts dramatically with movement and light.
At 1.4–1.5mm, these tiny Delicas are well-suited for intricate loom or peyote work where tight color registration matters, and their rainbow flash makes them especially effective in woven pieces where stacking the beads amplifies the iridescent shift across a finished panel.
