Create bold, eye-catching jewelry with these Half Tila Miyuki Black Labrador Full beads featuring silver-toned shimmers.
These Miyuki Half Tila beads combine a very uniform rectangular shape with a Black Labrador Full finish featuring luminous metallic highlights. Their dimensions of 5 x 2.3 x 1.9 mm allow you to create precise patterns while providing a larger visual surface area than traditional seed beads. Thanks to their two parallel holes, they can be easily incorporated into woven bracelets, geometric pendants, or earrings.
What can you make with Miyuki Half Tila beads?
The silver finish can be used as the main color to create monochromatic jewelry or serve as a highlight amidst darker shades. For an elegant bracelet, mix them with black, gray, and a few small contrasting seed beads. The interplay between rectangular beads and other shapes in this Miyuki Tila bracelet allows you to create a balanced composition and vary the textures.
You can also design a pair of geometric earrings where the Half Tila beads gradually form a point or a fringe. The design of these Half Tila earrings can serve as the basis for an all-silver version or one enhanced with blue, black, or pink. To take it a step further, combine Half Tila beads with classic Tila beads. One Tila bead is equivalent to two Half Tila beads placed side by side, allowing you to alternate sizes while maintaining a consistent width in your weaving.
Both beginners and experienced designers can find explanations, advice, and tips in our tutorials and technical guides to help them choose threads, understand different construction techniques, and develop their own beaded patterns.
Please note:
Due to their shape, the thinness of the glass, and the two-hole design, Tila beads are more fragile than other Miyuki beads.
To prevent the beads from cracking or chipping, Miyuki recommends handling the packets with the utmost care.
The use of a beading mat is strongly recommended when emptying Tila packets.
Sold in 10-gram bags, containing approximately 250 beads
