TOHO - Round 15/0 N. 511 - Transparent Frosted Teal

Sea-inspired tones meet Japanese precision in these exquisite seed beads, offering a soft, sea-glass aesthetic to your most intricate designs. TOHO, a legendary name in the world of beadmaking since 1950, crafts these tiny treasures in Hiroshima with a commitment to uniformity that remains unmatched. These TOHO Round 15/0 beads are the smallest in the range, allowing for incredible detail and refined transitions in high-end jewelry projects.

Detailed bead weaving techniques like peyote stitch, brick stitch, and loom work benefit immensely from the consistent dimensions of these Japanese glass beads. Unlike standard seed beads, every single piece in this 5 g pack is identical, ensuring that your patterns remain perfectly aligned without the need for constant culling. The Transparent Frosted Teal finish provides a sophisticated, non-reflective surface that adds depth and a modern touch to contemporary accessories.

Artistic possibilities expand when you utilize the signature large hole design characteristic of TOHO seed beads. Despite their diminutive 1.5 mm size, the generous 0.7 mm interior allows for multiple thread passes, making them the ideal choice for herringbone or complex right angle weave patterns. This structural advantage is a hallmark of Japanese engineering, designed specifically to meet the demands of professional artisans who require both beauty and functionality.

Combining these round beads with other shapes such as TOHO Treasure or Demi Round allows you to create captivating textures and low-profile embroidery. The soft teal hue, identified by color code 7BDF, pairs beautifully with silver or copper findings for a coastal-inspired look. By choosing these authentic TOHO beads, you are participating in a decades-long tradition of craftsmanship that elevates simple jewelry into a work of wearable art.
