Japanese Miyuki® 15/o Delica Beads are cylindrical in shape and have very thin walls and large holes for their size. Because of their uniformity, they are perfect for loomwork, peyote stitch and brick stitch; giving the appearance of little tiles when finished.  Loose beads are packaged by weight in grams ("gm"). There are approximately 350 beads in 1 gram.

**PLATED: refers to a process whereby a thin molecule of precious metal, such as gold or silver, is applied by electroplating to a lesser expensive metal alloy or other material base.**
