TOHO - Round 11/0 N. 866 - Trans-rainbow Crystal

Crystal clear glass meets a shimmering iridescent finish in these premium TOHO seed beads. What I love about these is the way the Trans-Rainbow Crystal coating catches the light, adding a subtle spectrum of colors to a classic clear base. These Japanese glass beads provide an ethereal quality to any project, whether you are creating wedding jewelry or delicate everyday pieces that require a touch of elegance.

Achieving professional results becomes so much easier when every bead is identical in size and shape. Since 1950, TOHO has been perfecting the art of uniformity, making these 11/0 seed beads the gold standard for intricate peyote stitch, brick stitch, and loom work. You won't have to waste time culling through your stash for the right shape, as their consistent quality ensures a perfectly flat and even surface in your woven beadwork.

One of the best features of the TOHO Round shape is the signature large hole, which is specifically designed to allow for multiple thread passes. This is a game-changer for complex herringbone or right angle weave designs that require extra durability and precision. For a truly sophisticated texture, I highly recommend mixing these rounds with TOHO Treasure or Demi Round beads, as they are engineered to work together in perfect harmony.

If you're looking for a versatile staple for your bead stash, this iridescent crystal finish is an essential choice. The neutral clear core makes it an excellent spacer, while the rainbow luster allows it to blend seamlessly with almost any color palette. These premium Japanese beads represent a long-standing tradition of manufacturing precision, offering a level of quality that elevates your handmade jewelry into a professional-grade creation.
