DB2152 is a size 11/0 Miyuki Delica in Duracoat Silver Lined Watermelon — a juicy, warm red that holds its color better than standard dyed beads thanks to Duracoat's fade-resistant finish. Precision tube-cut in Japan, Delicas are the go-to cylinder bead for tight, even coverage in loom and off-loom work.
Transparent red glass over a reflective silver core gives this bead a lit-from-within quality — the color reads rich and saturated while the silver lining throws back light with every shift.
The uniform cylindrical shape makes DB2152 ideal for brick stitch, peyote, and loom work where flat, gap-free coverage is the goal — think graphic patterns, bold geometric cuffs, or detailed tapestry-style pendants. It also pairs well with other silver-lined Delicas for mosaic-style beadweaving where consistent light reflection across the piece matters.
