Miyuki Delica peach-colored beads

What are the Miyuki Peach Fuzz color beads?

Every year, the Pantone Institute, specialists in color for industry and fashion, publishes the trend color of the year. This year, 2024, it's Peach Fuzz. In French, we could translate it as "peach fuzz". It's a subtle orangey-pink, pastel, but not too pastel. Although this shade is precisely defined by the PANTONE 13-1023 color code, it refers to a variation of colors around this hue, but also to a soft, fluffy material like peach skin. These shades are comforting, warm and timeless.

In this article, we offer 9 Miyuki bead references in peach or pink, inspired by the Peach Fuzz color. These pearls can be used on their own, in gradients or in combination with other colors, as peach blends beautifully with other shades. Use them to your heart's content!

1 - Peach miyuki: the essence of peach fuzz

Among Delica Miyuki's colors, several references are called Peach. Here's a selection of the 3 colors that most closely resemble Peach Fuzz:

• DB-2351: Opaque Dyed Pale Peach
• DB-2111: Opaque Tea Rose
• DB-1864: Silk Inside Dyed Topaz AB

Feel free to use these beads in a miyuki bead gradient. Silk beads can be used as a junction between the two opaque references, or placed randomly in the weave to add light and sparkle. Note that Silk beads have a sharp edge, so if you use them sparingly in your weave, no worries, but if you're making several rows of these beads, then prefer Fireline weaving thread.

Here's a tutorial in which you'll find the Opaque Tea Rose reference: Miyuki Multi-Wire Loom Beaded Bracelet.

2 - Transparent Miyuki delicas in soft hues

Miyuki Delica beads in shades DB-1203, DB-0901, and DB-1263 embody the lightness and softness of the "Fuzz / Duvet" part of the Peach Fuzz color. They capture and reflect light to give a touch of warm, delicate radiance to all your jewelry creations. In combination with opaque shades, these softly colored transparent tints give an impression of depth and relief, creating pieces that almost seem to float on the skin.

• DB-1203: Silver Lined Pink Mist
• DB-1263: Transparent Pink Mist Matte
• DB-0901: Sparkled Honey beige Lined Crystal

The Silver Lined Pink Mist reference is used in Little_Mlle's Miyuki multi-row bracelet tutorial.

3 - Miyuki Delica in contrasting orange tones

Finally, we offer three darker shades to set off the three basic peach shades. These three colors, DB-2151, DB-1302 and DB-2178, will enable you to add contrast to your design, especially if you wish to include patterns. They will also complement your gradient. It's always a good idea to mix colors and effects in the same design. Here, you have three different effects to complete your design: Silver Lined, Simple Transparent for depth and Alabaster for softness.

• DB-2151: Silver Lined Dyed Rose Copper
• DB-1302 : Dyed Transparent Peach
• DB-2178: Alabaster Silver Line Dyed Papaya

This fine miyuki bracelet from Little_mlle combines the DB-2178 Alabaster Silver Lined Dyed Papaya and DB-1502 Opaque Light Peach AB.
