These Miyuki 15/0 Crystal AB seed beads are small, iridescent Japanese beads with rainbow highlights, perfect for adding a touch of sparkle and lightness to your weaving, beadwork or DIY jewelry creations.
The color of these beads is not an original MIYUKI color. It is achieved through a Czech coating
Featuring an AB finish, these Japanese beads offer iridescent, shifting hues—ranging from blue to green to pink—depending on the angle of the light. The center of the bead remains transparent, which enhances the luminous effect. They measure approximately 1.5 mm in diameter and 1 mm across the hole, making them one of the smallest sizes in the Miyuki line.
What can you do with Miyuki 15/0 Crystal AB seed beads?
Their delicacy makes them particularly well-suited for bead embroidery on fabric, as well as for borders and finishes in beading techniques such as peyote stitch, brick stitch, or herringbone loops. They’re also ideal for more traditional beading projects, such as this DIY bracelet. The iridescent shimmer of Crystal AB pairs well with solid-colored beads to create subtle contrasts in geometric patterns.
