TOHO - Demi Round 11/0 N. 409 - Permafinish - Galvanized Aluminum

Japanese glass manufacturing reaches its pinnacle with these innovative flattened rounds, offering a slim profile that changes the way light interacts with beadwork. TOHO beads are celebrated for their incredible uniformity and precision, ensuring that every piece sits perfectly in intricate patterns. This specific Galvanized Aluminum finish features the renowned PermaFinish coating, which provides enhanced durability and resistance to wear, making it an excellent choice for jewelry that sees frequent use.

• Exceptional uniformity for professional-grade jewelry designs.
• Large internal holes allowing for multiple thread passes.
• Low-profile Demi shape adds depth and texture to flat stitches.
• Durable PermaFinish coating prevents color fading and scratches.
• Perfectly compatible with other TOHO shapes like Round and Treasure.

Incorporating these thin discs into traditional techniques allows for finer details and smoother transitions in your art. Use them to create delicate bezels for cabochons, where the lower height of the Demi Round creates a sleek, modern frame without adding unnecessary bulk. For a striking contrast, pair with siam red beads to make the metallic silver pop, or keep the palette elegant with crystal clear accents.

Mastering the art of bead embroidery or sophisticated off-loom weaving becomes easier when working with components engineered for consistency since 1950. These Japanese seed beads are designed to sit flush against the fabric or adjacent beads, making them indispensable for high-detail work like the herringbone stitch or right angle weave. The metallic luster of the aluminum finish provides a timeless, industrial-chic aesthetic that elevates any handmade accessory.
