DB0674: Light Topaz Silk Satin 11/0 Miyuki Delica Bead

Silk Satin beads are made with special glass that contains thousands of tiny bubbles giving them a beautiful glittering surface. Because they contain micro bubbles, they are extremely lightweight and slightly wider than normal. They also have sharper edges than most Japanese seed beads so they require a durable stringing material.

The 11/0 Delica (DB) is the most popular of the four sizes of Delica bead, and is available in hundreds of colors and finishes. Delicas are precisely cut glass cylinder beads with a rounded surface and two flat ends. The diameter of the hole is large in proportion to the bead size, enabling multiple passes with a needle and thread in stitching projects. In bead weaving, rows and columns of Delicas uniformly line up to create a flat surface that highlights pattern work.

Miyuki is Japan's oldest and most beloved seed bead manufacturer. Their meticulous craftsmanship combines creativity and state of the art manufacturing. Miyuki beads are world-renowned for their quality, uniformity, and expansive library of beautiful colors and finishes.
