Add a metallic touch to your bracelets and necklaces with these flat, 2-hole imitation hematite beads featuring a beautiful light bronze sheen—almost golden—perfect for creating graphic patterns in beading.
These beads are shaped like small, flat rectangles with two parallel holes running through them. They measure 5x2.3x1.9 mm—a slender, elongated shape that aligns easily in rows. Their surface resembles a luminous light bronze, which almost appears golden depending on the light. The two holes guide the thread in two directions and keep the beads snugly positioned against one another.
How do you use these flat beads?
Their size matches that of Miyuki Half Tila beads, allowing them to be incorporated into the same patterns. For example, you can follow this simple chevron bracelet pattern using Half Tila beads and replace some rows with this bronze color to highlight the chevrons. This shade pairs well with black, ivory, sage green, or burgundy. These beads are also ideal for creating geometric earrings, a layered pendant, or a border on a cuff bracelet. Their slim profile allows you to create uniform patterns without making the jewelry too heavy.
No matter your skill level, our tutorials and technical guides will help you get your projects off to a good start. You’ll find practical advice on choosing the right thread, threading through both holes, estimating the number of beads needed, and combining multiple shapes in a single design.
