About this product
Miyuki DB029 Delica beads in Metallic Purple Gold Iris bring together a transparent glass base with a strong iris finish that shifts dramatically across the color spectrum — this 9g package gives you a serious working supply of one of Miyuki's most eye-catching colorways. Precision tube-cut in Japan, Delicas are the go-to 11/0 cylinder bead when tight, even tension and consistent alignment matter.
The finish layers metallic purple and gold tones through a full rainbow iris effect, so the color you see shifts depending on the light and angle — expect deep violet to warm gold to green depending on how it catches the light.

What to make with them
These are built for loom and off-loom brickwork or peyote stitch, where the uniform cylinder shape locks into flat, gap-free fabric that really lets the iris shift do its thing across the surface. They also work beautifully in right-angle weave and ndebele herringbone when you want a piece that reads as one color in shadow and something entirely different in direct light.
