These small Miyuki Delica Hex Cut 15/0 beads in Gunmetal add a dark, sophisticated metallic touch to your creations. Their hexagonal cut subtly catches the light, creating a shimmering effect that’s perfect for your bead embroidery, weaving, and delicate jewelry designs.
These cylindrical beads with six faceted sides measure approximately 1.10 mm along the hole and 1.3 mm in diameter. Their hexagonal surface creates micro-reflections on their deep anthracite gray, almost black, hue, with metallic undertones that evoke raw metal. The hole allows for multiple strands of thread to pass through, making them particularly well-suited for multi-row weaving techniques.
