TOHO - Round 11/0 N. 2280 - HYBRID Sour Apple - Picasso

Sour apple lime tones meet the rustic charm of a Picasso finish in these premium TOHO Round 11/0 glass beads. Each bead features a soft, citrus-green base mottled with earthy brown specks, providing an organic, stone-like appearance that is highly sought after for bohemian and nature-inspired designs. The hybrid coating creates a unique depth that ensures no two beads are exactly alike while maintaining a cohesive palette throughout your project.

Precision manufacturing in Japan by TOHO ensures that every bead exhibits impeccable uniformity and consistent sizing across the entire batch. This level of craftsmanship is essential for professional jewelry makers who require tight tolerances and predictable results in their work. Unlike lower-quality alternatives, these Japanese glass beads allow for perfectly straight rows and balanced patterns without the need for constant culling.

Bead weaving enthusiasts prefer the classic round shape and signature large hole of TOHO seed beads for intricate multi-pass threading. The generous 0.8 mm internal diameter facilitates the use of various thread thicknesses and multiple passes, making them the ideal choice for complex peyote stitch, brick stitch, and herringbone techniques. The smooth edges of the glass prevent thread abrasion, ensuring the longevity of your handmade jewelry.

Stacking behavior is exceptionally predictable with these 11/0 rounds, making them the gold standard for high-end loom work and right angle weave. Because each bead is identical in dimension, your finished textile-like surfaces will remain flat and distortion-free. This structural integrity is particularly important when creating wider bracelets or structural 3D beadwork where precision is non-negotiable.

Natural, earthy aesthetics are easy to achieve by pairing this Y310 color code with other specialized Japanese components. For a sophisticated multi-textured look, we recommend combining these rounds with TOHO Treasure cylindrical beads or TOHO Demi Round accents. The shared manufacturing standards across different TOHO shapes ensure that the beads nestle together harmoniously in a single design.

Japanese tradition since 1950 defines the quality of these glass components, offering a professional finish to any artisan jewelry design. Choosing TOHO beads means investing in a legacy of excellence that is recognized by beaders worldwide. Whether you are crafting intricate earrings or detailed bead embroidery, these Picasso-finished rounds provide the perfect blend of rustic character and technical perfection.
