TOHO - Demi Round 8/0 N. 320 - Inside-color Rainbow Crystal/Pale Lavender-Lined

Lavender-lined crystal glass beads with a shimmering iridescent finish offer a sophisticated touch to contemporary beadweaving. TOHO Demi Round beads are specifically manufactured as a thinner, flattened version of the classic round seed bead, providing a lower profile that is exceptional for adding texture and depth without bulk. This unique donut shape allows for high-precision detailing in intricate patterns, ensuring that every piece of jewelry maintains a professional, uniform appearance thanks to the strict manufacturing standards maintained in Japan since 1950. A 3 g package contains enough beads to add delicate accents or create fine borders in your latest handmade project.

Working with the 1.3 mm hole size provides immense versatility for designers, as it easily accommodates multiple passes of S-lon thread when used with size 10-12 beading needles. While standard rounds are voluminous, the Demi Round profile creates a slim, elegant line in peyote or brick stitch, making them the perfect choice for delicate earrings or textured spacers between larger components like Preciosa Bicone beads. The consistency of these Japanese glass beads ensures that rows sit perfectly flush, which is a critical factor for master-level geometric designs and high-end bead embroidery.

Subtle shifts of iridescent color within the lavender lining pair beautifully with cool tones like aquamarine or light aqua, while a splash of mint green provides a refreshing spring contrast for a more striking design. These beads are engineered to integrate seamlessly with other Japanese shapes, and they serve as exquisite accents alongside Preciosa Pip beads for floral-themed arrangements. Because TOHO beads are prized for their precision and generous hole diameter, choosing this 8/0 size guarantees a reliable foundation for both beginners exploring macramé and professional artists demanding structural perfection in their wearable art.
