Miyuki Delica DB026 in Metallic Dark Steel brings the precision of Japanese tube-cut 11/0 Delicas to a deep, gunmetal-toned colorway that works hard in structural beadwork. The 9g retail quantity gives you enough to commit to a full piece without overcommitting to a colorway you haven't tried yet.

The solid metallic finish delivers a strong, mirror-like shine with genuine depth — dark enough to read as near-black in low light, bright enough to catch the light and hold attention.

What to make with them

The uniform cylindrical shape of Delicas makes DB026 a natural choice for loom work, peyote, and brick stitch where tight bead-to-bead alignment matters — think geometric cuffs, mosaic pendants, or intricate off-loom panels where the metallic surface adds dimension without introducing color noise. It also pairs well as a contrast bead in herringbone ropes or RAW components alongside silvers, blacks, and deep jewel tones.
