Miyuki Delica Beads or Cylinder shaped beads. 

Colour Name: Duracoat Opaque Dyed Pansy

Colour No: 2118

Colour Remarks: I have tested the Duracoat Dyed for 2 weeks on my wrist followed by 2 weeks round my neck and found that the colour is retained very well, yes it was slightlly paler and more matt (as the duracoat coating had been removed), but compared to the duracoat galvanised colours which come off in 3 days on my skin,  its really good, and all the Opaque Dyed Duracoat colours combine well with one another. Sometimes in the  Opaque Dyed Duracoat range the holes in the bead are not as big as normal Miyuki beads, presumably due to coating.

A note of caution, this bead is dyed / coated / plated and  like all dyed/plated/coated items, the dye/plating/coating may wear off, dependant on how much wear/friction the bead is subject to.  Do not leave in sunlight or colour will fade.

Like seed beads, Delica beads also come in different sizes.

Size 15 This is slightly smaller  than the normal size 11 you buy approx 1.1mm long, 1.3mm external diameter.

Size 11  This is the normal size you buy when buying Delica beads, approx 1.3mm long, 1.7mm external diameter. 

Size 10  This is slightly larger than size 11 but not as large as size 8 or double delica, approx:  1.7mm long, 2mm external diameter. 

Made in Japan, Miyuki glass beads are the best, most consistent size, and less rejects than any other manufacturer. This will make  your beadwork look more even and you won't have to spend time looking over your beads to discard small and large beads, that you find in Czech or Chinese manufactured beads.  Which means they're worth it, and as all ladies know, we ARE worth it!.
