TOHO - Bugles 3mm N. 1402 - Metallic Iris Brown

Japanese precision glassmaking is at the heart of these TOHO bugle beads. Known for their consistent quality and uniformity, these 3 mm tubes allow for perfectly aligned beadwork in architectural and geometric designs. The Metallic Iris Brown finish offers a sophisticated, oil-slick luster that reflects deep bronze, forest green, and violet tones, making it a versatile choice for luxury palettes.

Fringe earrings and intricate edge rows gain a professional silhouette when using these Japanese glass beads. Their uniform 3 mm length ensures that tassels hang straight and clean, while the large hole—a signature feature of TOHO manufacturing—permits multiple thread passes without the risk of breaking the glass. These tube-shaped beads are essential for techniques like the ladder stitch or creating structural grids in contemporary jewelry.

Metallic iridescent tones pair exceptionally well with other TOHO shapes for a cohesive, high-end look. You can combine these bugles with Treasure, Round, or Demi Round beads to introduce varied textures and heights into your weaving. This compatibility is intentional, allowing designers to mix and match sizes while maintaining the legendary precision that Japanese beads are famous for.

Premium 3 mm bugles are a staple for any serious jewelry artist focusing on detail and durability. Since 1950, TOHO has maintained a tradition of manufacturing excellence, ensuring that every bead in this 10 g pack meets strict standards. Whether you are working on a peyote stitch masterpiece or simple beaded embroidery, the rich metallic finish provides an elegant, shimmering depth to your creative vision.
