Miyuki's 8/0 hex cut seed beads in Matte Metallic Variegated Blue Iris arrive in a generous 250g quantity, giving you a serious working supply of a finish that shifts from deep blue to violet to green depending on the light. The precision tube-cut facets on these Japanese beads catch and scatter that iris rainbow in a way round seeds simply can't.

The matte metallic base keeps the color grounded and moody while the variegated iris coating throws strong multicolor reflections — blue, violet, and green all showing up as the angle changes.

What to make with them

Their flat faceted faces make them ideal for peyote and brick stitch panels where the shifting iris creates an almost woven-textile shimmer across the surface. They're also a go-to for fringe, netted collars, and woven bracelets where movement keeps the rainbow reflection constantly in play.
