Miyuki Delica Beads – DB 1417, Transparent Taupe, 11/0

Transparent beads are see-through, so light passes through them, giving the beads depth and glow. The color comes from the glass itself and creates a classic, clear look reminiscent of small colored glass beads.

Durability: High — if the bead is non-dyed. When the color comes from the glass itself, it will not fade. If the bead is "transparent dyed", the durability is lower, as the dyed color can be affected by sun and chemicals.

Best for: Jewelry where you want light and depth in the design, combinations with metal wire that shines through the beads, classic bead weaving projects.
