Miyuki's 8/0 hex cut seed beads in Metallic Gold Iris arrive in a generous 25g quantity, precision tube-cut in Japan for the consistent sizing and clean angles that serious bead workers depend on. The hexagonal facets catch and scatter light in a way round seeds simply can't, giving every stitch a little extra dimension.

A transparent base carries a strong iris finish that throws dramatic multicolor rainbow reflections — warm gold shifts through copper, green, and violet depending on the angle and the light.

What to make with them

The 2.8–3.2mm size and flat hex faces make these a natural choice for peyote and brick stitch projects where you want surface shimmer built right into the structure, and they work equally well strung in herringbone rope or woven into right-angle weave for a chainmail-like metallic sheen.
