Delicas are perfectly cylindrical Japanese seed beads. They are prized for their extreme consistency in size and color. They feature a large hole that allows for multiple passes of thread. Delicas are preferred by artisans for woven jewelry and for loomed pieces because they produce a finished design that is very smooth in appearance. They are even used by artists around the world who have used them to create detailed portraits and sculptures where each bead is a single pixel of color. Use Cymbal Elements designed for Delica to add professional finish to your design. Watch our popular Delica Earrings Video Tutorial.
