Miyuki's 15/0 Delica in Metallic Bronze Iris packs precision-cut, uniform tube beads into a 50g quantity — enough to commit fully to a detailed loom piece, intricate peyote work, or a run of matching components without rationing every gram.
The transparent metallic bronze base catches light and throws it back as a strong, shifting iris — deep bronze one moment, flashing green, gold, and violet the next depending on the angle.
At 1.4–1.5mm, these 15/0 Delicas are built for fine brickstitch bezels around cabochons, micro-peyote rope bracelets, and needle-woven earrings where the tight bead-to-bead fit and consistent sizing keep every row crisp and even.
