DB005 Delica Blue Iris Aurora Borealis Finish 11/0

Miyuki Delica DB005 in Blue Iris AB is a size 11/0 precision-cut Japanese glass cylinder bead with a transparent base and a strong multicolor iris finish that shifts and flashes with every movement. If you want a bead that does the visual heavy lifting, this 9g package delivers consistent color and shape for projects where uniformity and shimmer both matter.

The transparent glass core lets light pass through while the AB iris coating throws dramatic rainbow reflections across the blue spectrum — the kind of finish that reads as electric under any light.

What to make with them

Delicas are the go-to for loom work and peyote stitch because their uniform tube-cut walls lock together cleanly with almost no gaps, making them ideal for intricate geometric patterns or gradient color fields. They're equally well-suited to right-angle weave and herringbone rope designs where that consistent 2.0–2.2 mm cylinder shape keeps tension even across long runs.
