Add a metallic touch to your creations with these 5x2.3 mm flat, 2-hole silver-colored hematite-look beads.
With their silvery hue and rectangular shape, these small beads make it easy to add structure to a bracelet or woven piece. Their 5x2.3x1.9 mm size offers a nice balance between delicacy and visibility: they can serve as the main pattern of a piece of jewelry or simply add a few metallic accents among colorful beads. They are the same size as Miyuki’s Half Tila beads.
What can you do with flat beads?
The two threading holes are arranged parallel to each other, opening the door to numerous multi-row designs. This feature also allows you to combine them with Miyuki Half Tila beads, as well as Tila and Quarter Tila beads, to create patterns that alternate between different widths.
For a understated design, combine the Silver finish with white, gray, and blue. You can also incorporate brighter colors to make the metal stand out. The structure of this Miyuki Tila bracelet offers an interesting starting point for designing your own sequence of two-hole beads. For example, alternate several silver beads with matte or iridescent Tila beads, or create an all-metallic row between two rows of colored beads.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced designer, our tutorials and technical guides offer tips and advice on choosing your thread, understanding two-hole beadwork, and developing your own designs.
