Miyuki's 8/0 Hex Cut seed beads in Transparent Cobalt Luster are precision tube-cut Japanese glass that bring a faceted edge to seed bead work — each flat face catches light in a way a round seed bead simply can't.
The cobalt glass is fully transparent, so light passes through the deep blue body and bounces off the luster coating with a glassy, luminous glow.

What to make with them
At 2.8–3.2 mm, these 8/0 hex cuts are a strong choice for bead weaving patterns — peyote, herringbone, or right-angle weave — where the faceted profile adds texture and sparkle without switching bead types, and they're equally at home strung in bracelets or necklaces where their durability holds up to regular wear.
