Miyuki DB1010 Delica seed beads in Metallic Earth Batik Iris deliver the precise, uniform cylinder shape Delicas are known for — here in a warm earthy brown base that erupts with a strong multicolor iris finish. That combination of grounded tone and dramatic rainbow reflection is exactly why makers keep reaching for this colorway.

The transparent brown glass catches light and throws it back as a full-spectrum iris shimmer, so the earthy warmth and the iridescent flash work together rather than competing.

What to make with them

Their consistent tube shape and flat sides make DB1010s ideal for loom work and brick stitch, where tight bead-to-bead contact lets the iris finish ripple across a surface like an oil slick on autumn leaves. They're equally strong in peyote stitch cuffs and collar necklaces where the color-shifting quality reads as intentional pattern rather than accident.
