TOHO - Bugles 3mm N. 1373 - Ceylon Snowflake

Snowy white with a delicate pearly sheen, these TOHO Bugle beads represent the pinnacle of Japanese glass manufacturing. Since 1950, TOHO has mastered the art of creating perfectly uniform tube beads that professional jewelry designers rely on for structural integrity. The 3 mm length is meticulously cut to ensure every bead in your 10 g pack aligns flawlessly, which is critical when creating geometric patterns or crisp edges in beadweaving projects. Their consistent hole size of 0.7 mm allows for multiple thread passes, making them a superior choice for intricate beadwork where precision and craftsmanship are non-negotiable.

• Perfectly uniform tube shape for seamless stacking and professional alignment
• Lustrous Ceylon Snowflake finish with a soft, snowy iridescence
• Ideal for geometric techniques like brick stitch, loom work, and herringbone
• Highly durable Japanese glass construction for heirloom-quality jewelry pieces

These 3 mm bugles are particularly effective for creating fluid movement in fringe work or adding structural definition to Preciosa seed beads patterns. The manufacturing process ensures that the edges are finished with high precision to minimize thread wear, though we still recommend using reinforced beading fibers for heavy structural work. Their sleek, cylindrical profile makes them the go-to element for outlining jewelry motifs, creating spacers in embroidery, or building three-dimensional architectural components that require exact tolerances.

Incorporating these snowy white tubes into winter-themed designs yields spectacular results. When combined with Preciosa Bicone beads, they form the rigid frame necessary for sparkling snowflakes and holiday ornaments. Because TOHO beads are designed as a modular system, you can easily integrate them with TOHO Round or Treasure beads for a sophisticated, multi-textured surface. The Ceylon finish provides a high-end, bridal-appropriate glow that remains consistent across every bead, ensuring your designs maintain a professional look throughout the entire production.
