TOHO - Demi Round 8/0 N. 314 - Metallic Iris - Green/Brown

A sophisticated beadwork collar or a statement geometric necklace becomes a masterpiece when you incorporate the unique texture of these Japanese components. The Metallic Iris Green/Brown finish provides a mesmerizing oil-slick appearance, shifting beautifully between deep forest hues and warm metallic bronze as the light moves. These beads are perfect for designers looking to add a touch of mystery and high-end elegance to their handmade jewelry collections.

The TOHO Demi Round shape is a revolutionary development in the world of Japanese glass beads, featuring a flattened profile that is significantly thinner than a standard round seed bead. This lower profile allows for incredibly precise detail work and creates a sleek, woven look that lies flat against the skin. They are particularly effective when used as spacers or to create subtle transitions in complex peyote stitch or brick stitch designs.

Metallic Iris finishes are celebrated for their depth and versatility, making these beads an excellent choice for loom work and herringbone techniques. The TN-08-84 color code ensures a consistent, high-quality metallic coating that resists wear and maintains its brilliant luster. Because they are manufactured with Japanese precision, you can rely on every single bead to have identical dimensions for a flawless finish.

Japanese tradition since 1950 is reflected in the TOHO commitment to quality, offering a large hole that makes threading a breeze even with multiple passes. This 1.3 mm opening allows for the use of thicker cords or multiple strands of high-quality thread, expanding your creative possibilities beyond traditional needlework to include contemporary macramé or wire-wrapping projects.

Creating a harmonious look is easy when you combine these with other TOHO beads like the cylindrical Treasure or traditional Rounds. The 8/0 size (3 mm) offers a substantial presence while remaining delicate enough for intricate embroidery and fringe. These beads are designed to work together across different shapes, allowing you to build complex textures that are impossible to achieve with standard beads alone.

A 3 g package contains a generous amount of these premium glass components for your next project. The bead count is approximate and depends on the specific weight of the iris coating, as the weight is the decisive factor for the packaging. This TOHO Demi Round 8/0 selection is a must-have for any serious artisan seeking the perfect balance of color, shape, and consistent quality.
