14SD596-MR: DB857 Delica Smoky Amethyst Matte AB 11/0 - 9GM is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Miyuki DB857 Delica beads in Smoky Amethyst Matte AB deliver the precision cylinder shape Delicas are known for — uniform 11/0 tubes that lock together edge-to-edge for tight, even coverage in loom and off-loom beadweaving. The 9g retail quantity gives you a solid working supply of this moody, light-shifting purple.
The matte amethyst base keeps the color smoky and grounded while the AB finish throws a strong multicolor rainbow reflection across the surface — the result is a purple that shifts and flares rather than sitting flat.
Specifications
- Size: 11/0
- Color: Purples (transparent)
- Finish: Rainbow/A.B./Iris
- Material: Glass, made in Japan
- Quantity: 9g
What to make with them
Delicas are the go-to for peyote and brick stitch work where tight bead alignment matters, so this colorway earns its place in geometric cuffs, tapestry-style pendants, and detailed floral motifs where that iridescent shift reads as depth and dimension. It also layers well in herringbone ropes alongside other matte-finish or metallic Delicas when you want color contrast without competing shine.
