DB310 is Miyuki's 11/0 Delica in Opaque Black Matte — 100 grams of precision tube-cut Japanese glass that gives you a consistent, flat-black surface bead after bead. Delicas are the go-to cylinder bead for tight, even coverage, and this matte black colorway earns its place in any serious rotation.
The special opaque matte finish absorbs light rather than reflecting it, delivering a dense, velvety black with no shine — grounded and graphic without any gloss.
Brick stitch and loom work are where this bead really performs, locking together cleanly for crisp geometric patterns and high-contrast pictorial designs. It's equally at home as a dark outline bead in peyote stitch or as a structural element in woven seed bead jewelry where a matte black anchor color does the heavy lifting.
