Miyuki DB035 Delica 11/0 in Metallic Silver Galvanized delivers the uniform cylinder shape and tight hole tolerance Delicas are known for, in a high-shine silver finish that reads as liquid metal in finished work. The 9g retail quantity gives you enough to commit to a substantial piece without overcommitting to a finish you haven't worked with yet.

The galvanized finish lays a bright, mirror-like metallic silver over the glass, giving each bead a reflective quality that catches light sharply — think polished chrome rather than soft pewter.

What to make with them

The precise tube-cut cylinder shape makes these ideal for even-count peyote and brick stitch, where the flat-sided beads lock together cleanly for geometric or Art Deco–inspired panels. Because the galvanized finish rates as very delicate, plan to use them in low-friction areas — think centerpiece motifs, embroidered appliqués, or the face of a beadwoven pendant rather than a heavily-worn bracelet band.

The finish on these beads is delicate. Avoid prolonged exposure to friction, moisture, skin acids, and harsh chemicals to preserve the surface coating.
