Add some character to your weaves with these Tila Miyuki Black Marca beads, which combine a black base with subtle hints of color.
These Tila Miyuki Black Marca beads stand out for their dark base accented with shimmering highlights that appear differently depending on the light. Their flat square shape, measuring 5x5x1.9 mm, provides a large surface area for this finish and allows you to create particularly graphic jewelry. The two parallel holes make it easy to string them in rows and open up numerous possibilities for bracelets, cuffs, pendants, or earring components.
What can you do with these Tila Beads?
For a high-contrast bracelet, combine Black Marca with gold or silver seed beads, or Tila beads in very bright colors. You can use this style as a dark background and let a floral pattern stand out in the center. The mix of shapes in this woven Tila bracelet featuring small seed bead flowers provides an interesting foundation for experimenting with this type of contrast. If you prefer a more minimalist piece, work with just two shades and play with repeating the pattern. The Bangle bracelet featuring Miyuki Delicas, seed beads, and Tila beads demonstrates how to combine multiple sizes while maintaining a structured composition. Black Marca can serve as the dominant color, accented with a metallic finish or a vibrant shade.
You can also mix Tila and Half Tila: the complementary sizes of these two beads allow you to vary the patterns without disrupting the alignment of the weave. Try black and fuchsia for a high-contrast design, or black and bronze for a more understated look.

Warning:
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.
Using a beading mat is strongly recommended when emptying the Tila Beads packets.
