TOHO - Round 11/0 N. 88 - Trans-rainbow-frosted Ruby

Ruby tones shimmering under a velvety matte surface bring a sophisticated depth to any beadweaving project. These Japanese glass treasures, manufactured by the legendary TOHO company since 1950, represent the pinnacle of precision engineering. The Trans-Rainbow-Frosted Ruby finish combines the richness of a deep pinkish-red with a subtle iridescent glow, ensuring your designs capture the light without overwhelming the eye. The consistency in size and shape makes them an essential staple for artists who demand perfection in every stitch.

Intricate jewelry techniques such as the peyote stitch, brick stitch, or looming require beads that are perfectly uniform. TOHO round beads are specifically designed for this level of detail, allowing each bead to nestle perfectly against its neighbor for a flawless, professional finish. The generous 0.8 mm hole size is a hallmark of the TOHO brand, facilitating multiple thread passes which are essential for complex three-dimensional beadwork and sculptural jewelry designs.

Combining different shapes like TOHO Treasure, Demi Round, or Bugle beads with these 11/0 rounds opens up endless possibilities for texture and dimension. The Japanese tradition of glassmaking ensures that the colors and finishes remain consistent across different batches, providing a reliable palette for professional artisans. Whether you are creating a statement necklace or delicate earrings, the frosted rainbow finish adds a contemporary touch to traditional patterns, making your work stand out with a soft, glowing luster.

Premium Japanese seed beads are valued worldwide for their durability and the artistic heritage they represent. Every bead in this 10 g pack reflects decades of manufacturing expertise from one of the most respected names in the industry. By choosing these authentic TOHO glass beads, you are investing in materials that respect your time and artistry, ensuring that your handmade jewelry remains a cherished piece for years to come. Their resilience and uniform geometry make them the preferred choice for heirloom-quality beadwork.
