TOHO - Demi Round 8/0 N. 338 - Inside/color Crystal/Baby Blue-Lined

Luminous Japanese glass takes center stage in this specialized Demi Round shape, featuring a delicate baby blue core encased in clear crystal. Unlike standard seed beads, these flattened rounds offer a slimmer profile that adds sophisticated texture and dimension to intricate jewelry pieces. Because Japanese manufacturing precision ensures that every single bead is identical in size, they are essential for mastering uniform patterns in techniques like peyote stitch or right-angle weave. These 3 mm components are particularly valued for their large 1.3 mm hole, which allows for multiple thread passes or the use of thicker stringing materials without the need for a specialized needle.

Crafting with these premium components allows for seamless integration with other high-quality glass types, including Matubo™ MiniDuo beads to create highly structured and rhythmic patterns. The unique flattened shape provides a lower profile than traditional rounds, making them the superior choice for bead embroidery and detail work where a sleek silhouette is required. For a striking contrast, pair these ethereal blue-lined beads with deep jet black or metallic bronze accents to make the inner glow of the crystal glass truly stand out in your design.

Precision-cut glass provides a professional finish that elevates handmade textile art and woven jewelry to a fine boutique standard. These beads work harmoniously alongside Matubo™ SuperDuo beads, acting as perfect spacers or fill elements that maintain structural integrity. The 3 g package ensures you have the exact consistency needed for delicate accents, drawing on a manufacturing tradition from Japan that dates back to 1950. Whether used in loom work or fringe, the uniform dimensions of the 8/0 size ensure a flawless, professional result every time.
