Miyuki's 15/0 Delica in Metallic Bronze Iris packs a serious color payoff into a 1.4–1.5 mm precision-cut cylinder — that strong multicolor iris finish catches light in ways a flat metallic simply can't. The 9g package gives you enough to commit to a substantial project without second-guessing the colorway.
The transparent glass base lets the iris finish work from within, throwing dramatic rainbow reflections over a warm bronze foundation — the effect shifts as the piece moves.
These tiny Delicas are a natural fit for peyote or brick stitch work where their uniform tube-cut shape locks into tight, even rows — think intricate geometric cuffs or detailed amulet bags where the iris shimmer reads as texture across the surface. They also layer beautifully into loom work alongside matte earthtones, letting the iridescent bronze pop against quieter neighbors.
