Miyuki's 8/0 hex cut seed beads bring a faceted edge to the classic round seed bead format — and in Metallic Variegated Blue Iris, that edge does serious work, catching light from every angle with a shifting, multicolor iris finish.
The transparent glass base lets a strong rainbow iris play across the surface, cycling through blues and beyond with the kind of dramatic, shifting reflection you'd expect from a disco ball that decided to go coastal.
Specifications
- Size: 08/0
- Color: Blues (transparent)
- Finish: Rainbow/A.B./Iris
- Material: Glass, made in Japan
What to make with them
The precision-cut hex facets make these ideal for right-angle weave and peyote stitch where the flat faces stack neatly and amplify texture, and their 2.8–3.2 mm size gives them enough presence to anchor statement earrings or stand out as accent rows in loom work.
