TOHO - Demi Round 11/0 N. 403 - Inside-color Rainbow Crystal/Salmon-Lined

Salmon pink tones radiating through a crystal-clear glass exterior bring a soft, romantic glow to any jewelry design. These TOHO Demi Rounds feature a specialized inside-color lining paired with a subtle rainbow finish that catches the light with every movement. Because they are significantly thinner than traditional seed beads, they offer a unique way to add color and shimmer without adding excessive bulk to your work.

Bead embroidery enthusiasts will appreciate the lower profile of these flattened round beads, which allow for intricate detailing and layered textures that standard round shapes cannot achieve. Their 2.2 x 1.1 mm dimensions make them perfect for spacing in complex patterns or creating a delicate, tile-like look in woven jewelry. What I love about these is how they sit snugly against the foundation, providing a professional finish to cuffs and brooches.

Working with Japanese seed beads ensures a level of uniformity that is essential for advanced techniques like the peyote stitch, brick stitch, or right angle weave. Since every bead is manufactured with incredible precision, your rows will remain perfectly straight and your finished pieces will have a high-end feel. The consistency of TOHO beads is a hallmark of their Japanese tradition, making them a favorite for both beginners and master beaders.

Combining different shapes from the manufacturer's lineup is something I highly recommend to add depth to your projects. You can easily pair these Demi Rounds with TOHO Treasures for a smooth surface or use them alongside traditional round beads to create subtle transitions in height. Because the hole size is a generous 0.9 mm, you can comfortably execute multiple thread passes, which is vital for secure jewelry construction.

Crafting with high-quality glass materials from Japan means your creations will maintain their vibrant color and integrity over time. Whether you are designing a dainty summer necklace or a complex geometric bracelet, these 11/0 beads provide the perfect balance of color and precision. This 3 g pack is an ideal way to explore this unique shape and incorporate a touch of coral-pink warmth into your next beading session.
