TOHO - Demi Round 8/0 N. 340 - Inside-color Crystal/Blush-Lined

Soft pink tones glow through a clear glass exterior, creating a delicate depth that defines this Inside-Color Crystal/Blush-Lined finish. These TOHO Demi Round 8/0 beads offer a unique, flattened profile that is significantly slimmer than traditional round seed beads. This architectural shape allows for thinner, more flexible beadwork without sacrificing the classic 3 mm width of an 8/0 bead. A 3 g package contains approximately 120 beads, though the weight remains the decisive measure for every pack.

Precision manufacturing from Japan ensures that every single bead maintains exact dimensions and a consistent quality that professional designers demand. The TOHO legacy since 1950 is built on this uniformity, making them the superior choice for intricate patterns where alignment is critical. Unlike standard rounds, the Demi profile creates a sleek, low-profile texture that sits closer to the skin or base fabric, perfect for achieving a modern, streamlined look in your jewelry designs.

Intricate embroidery and detail-heavy weaving projects benefit most from this specialized shape. Because these beads are thinner, they are ideal for adding subtle highlights or creating tight, multi-layered textures in peyote stitch, brick stitch, or herringbone techniques. The Inside-Color effect provides a luminous quality that shifts beautifully under different lighting conditions, adding a sophisticated shimmer to any handmade piece.

Large internal hole sizes of 1.3 mm make these beads exceptionally versatile for various stringing materials. You can easily pass through the bead multiple times with thread, or even use thicker cords for macramé and contemporary fiber arts without needing a classic beading needle. Combining Demi Round beads with TOHO Round and Treasure components ensures a seamless fit within your jewelry architecture as they are designed to work harmoniously together.

Japanese glass mastery is evident in the smooth edges and durable finish of each 3 mm piece. Use these pink-hued accents to add a romantic, sophisticated touch to earrings, bracelets, or bridal accessories. Choosing TOHO means investing in the world-class tradition of Japanese precision for professional jewelry that stands the test of time and maintains its exquisite appearance through years of wear.
