Miyuki's 8/0 hex cut seed beads in Metallic Gold Iris arrive in a generous 250g quantity, giving you serious working volume of a color that earns its place in any considered palette. The precision tube-cut facets on these Japanese-made beads catch light at every angle, turning a single strand into something that moves.

The transparent base carries a strong iris finish that throws dramatic multicolor rainbow reflections — warm gold at the core, shifting through the spectrum as the light shifts around it.

What to make with them

The flat facets of the hex cut make these ideal for right-angle weave and peyote, where each bead face becomes a tiny mirror contributing to an overall shimmer effect. They're also a natural choice for fringe work, kumihimo braiding, and bead embroidery where that iris flicker adds depth without requiring mixed finishes.
