3mm Miyuki Glass Spacer Beads

Need a little something extra in your strung or woven design? 

• Size 8 MIYUKI Unions seed beads are the union of Japanese Miyuki seed beads and Czech coatings. Outer diameter: 3mm; hole size is approx 1mm. The Czech glass finishes add spectacular color effects! 
• MIYUKI glass spacer beads from Japan are about the same diameter as a size 8 Miyuki seed bead, but are skinnier. They are similar to "O" beads, but a bit smaller. They resemble 3mm heishi beads or tiny rings, and nestle nicely between 3mm and larger round beads. Compared to their petite sizes, they have a relatively large hole (approx. 1.3mm), suitable for large cord or multiple strands.

Depending on the angle and color, sometimes these look like glass beads, and sometimes like a rounded metal heishi bead. Use either style as spacer beads, add them as decorations in bead embroidery, or include them as elements in bead weaving.
