TOHO - Demi Round 8/0 N. 309 - Metallic Amethyst Gun Metal

Metallic Amethyst Gun Metal glass brings a sophisticated, dark purple shimmer to your jewelry designs, blending the depth of gunmetal with the richness of violet. These premium Japanese TOHO Demi Round beads are unique for their slim, doughnut-like profile, measuring only about half the thickness of a standard round seed bead. This lowered height allows you to create high-definition textures and more intricate details in your beadwork without adding unnecessary bulk.

Japanese precision engineering ensures that every single bead in this 3 g pack is perfectly uniform, which is essential for professional-grade results. If you're looking for a way to refine your peyote stitch, brick stitch, or loom weaving, these 8/0 Demi Rounds are the perfect addition to your palette. Their consistent shape means your patterns will lay flatter and more evenly than with traditional round beads, providing a sleek, modern finish.

Deep violet tones pair beautifully with silver, hematite, or even soft lavenders to create a harmonious gradient effect. Because TOHO beads are designed to work together, you can easily combine these Demi Rounds with TOHO Treasure or standard Round 8/0 beads to add varied heights and dimensions to your woven surfaces. What I love about these is how the large 1.3 mm hole allows for multiple passes of thread, making them incredibly versatile for complex structural designs or bead embroidery.

Crafting with beads from a manufacturer with a tradition dating back to 1950 means you are using some of the highest-quality components available to the modern artist. Each 3 g package contains approximately 120 beads, providing enough weight to accent several small projects or create a detailed focal piece. Whether you are a beginner exploring the world of Japanese seed beads or a seasoned professional, the reliability and vibrant metallic finish of the TN-08-90 color will make it a staple in your jewelry-making collection.
