Miyuki's 8/0 Hex Cut seed beads in Matte Metallic Dark Blue Iris arrive in a generous 250g quantity, and the hex-cut facets on these precision tube-cut Japanese beads mean every single one catches light from multiple angles — no round bead can do that.
The matte metallic base deepens the dark blue while the iris finish throws a strong, dramatic rainbow across the surface, shifting through the spectrum as the light or your angle changes.

What to make with them
The 2.8–3.2mm size and faceted profile make these a natural fit for peyote and brick stitch work where you want built-in texture and shimmer without adding a separate finish step, and they're equally at home strung in kumihimo or woven into herringbone ropes where the hex cuts create that subtle ridged sparkle along the length.
