Miyuki's 15/0 Delica beads are precision tube-cut in Japan for exceptionally uniform shape and size, and this dark bronze matte metallic colorway brings serious depth to that already-reliable cylinder. At 1.4–1.5 mm, these 9g beads pack a lot of working material into a compact package.
The matte metallic finish delivers a solid, light-absorbing bronze surface that reads as rich and moody rather than flashy — all the warmth of dark bronze without a mirror shine.
Their uniform cylinder shape makes them ideal for off-loom brickwork and peyote stitch where tight bead-to-bead registration matters, and the earthy bronze tone pairs naturally with copper or oxidized silver findings in Art Deco or Steampunk-influenced pieces.
