Miyuki's 8/0 hex cut seed beads in 24 Karat Gold Lined Crystal bring together two things makers love: the faceted sparkle of a precision tube-cut hex bead and the warm, luminous depth of a true 24-karat gold lining. At 2.8–3.2 mm, they're a satisfying size to work with and substantial enough to carry a design on their own.

The crystal glass shell acts like a window into a rich gold core, giving each bead a warm inner glow that shifts as light moves across it — less flashy than a metallic coating, more like candlelight caught in glass.

What to make with them

The hex cut makes these a natural choice for right-angle weave and brick stitch, where each faceted face catches light at a slightly different angle and adds texture without extra embellishment. They also work beautifully strung as a standalone piece — a bracelet or necklace that leans into the gold warmth without competing with a focal bead.
