Add a dark, velvety touch to your creations with these Miyuki 8/0 Black Amber Mat seed beads—Japanese glass beads with an intense matte finish that enhance woven bracelets, necklaces, and earrings alike.
The color of these beads is not an original MIYUKI color. It is achieved through a Czech coating
With its deep amber-brown hue and velvety matte finish, this Japanese bead offers an understated and refined look, a far cry from the more traditional glossy shades. The non-reflective surface absorbs light and gives creations a natural, understated look, which is highly prized in designs featuring earthy or autumnal tones. These Miyuki 8/0 seed beads measure approximately 3 mm in diameter.
