TOHO - Mix N. 485 - Kokoro- Mauve/Gold Mix

Mauve tones blended with rich metallic gold create a sophisticated palette for artisan jewelry designers seeking a professional finish. This TOHO Mix No. 485 offers a curated selection of shapes and finishes, ensuring your projects have visual depth and varied texture. Unlike standard monochromatic packs, these Japanese glass beads provide a harmonious color story designed by experts at the TOHO factory, saving you the time of hand-picking matching shades for your next masterpiece.

Traditional Japanese manufacturing precision ensures that every bead in this Kokoro Mauve/Gold Mix maintains the exceptional quality the brand has been famous for since 1950. While other manufacturers may have slight variations, TOHO beads are celebrated for their extreme uniformity and consistent dimensions. This mix combines various shapes, including classic Round seed beads and sleek Bugle beads, allowing for complex geometric patterns that maintain their structural integrity across different beading techniques.

• Ideal for multi-pass weaving techniques like peyote stitch and herringbone thanks to the signature large holes.
• Perfect for creating textured embroidery pieces with a mix of matte, iridescent, and metallic finishes.
• Designed to integrate seamlessly with TOHO Treasure or Demi Round beads for high-detail work.
• Provides a ready-to-use color palette for loom projects and elegant fringe earrings.

Selecting a pre-made blend like this one allows for a more organic, artisanal look compared to using single-finish tubes. The combination of matte, lustrous, and metallic surfaces catches the light from different angles, making it a superior choice for statement necklaces or intricate bracelets. Beaders often prefer TOHO over other brands because the larger internal hole diameter accommodates multiple passes of thread, which is essential for secure and durable jewelry construction.

Creating a cohesive design becomes effortless when working within the TOHO-to-TOHO ecosystem of components. You can easily add TOHO Cube beads for sharp angles or additional Bugle beads for dramatic fringe, knowing the quality and precision will align perfectly. This 10 g pack is a versatile addition to any studio, offering the perfect balance of mauve elegance and gold luxury for both modern and vintage-inspired beading designs.
