TOHO - Round 15/0 N. 787 - Metallic Iris Purple

Metallic Iris Purple seed beads offer a breathtaking depth of color, blending dark violet tones with a sophisticated iridescent sheen that reflects hints of gold and green. These TOHO Round 15/0 beads are the smallest in the range, designed for artisans who demand extreme precision in their jewelry making supplies. As part of a Japanese manufacturing tradition dating back to 1950, every single bead is crafted to ensure absolute uniformity in size and shape, allowing for perfectly balanced patterns in every project.

Precision-minded crafters often choose TOHO seed beads over other brands because of their signature large hole. While the 15/0 size is incredibly delicate, the generous internal diameter makes multi-pass threading significantly easier, which is a vital advantage for precision seed beads used in complex weaving. This structural feature makes them superior for creating dense, durable fabrics of glass without the risk of breaking a bead during the final passes of a needle.

Peyote stitch and brick stitch projects reach a new level of professional finish when using these Japanese glass beads. Their consistent 1.5 mm diameter ensures that every stitch sits flush against the next, creating a smooth, professional texture that is essential for high-end boutique jewelry. Beyond weaving, these iris finish beads are an excellent choice for detailed embroidery and delicate edging on accessories where a subtle, purple iridescent beads shimmer is desired.

Combining different shapes within the TOHO ecosystem allows for endless creative possibilities for round 15/0 beads. These round elements are designed to integrate seamlessly with TOHO Treasure cylindrical beads or TOHO Demi Rounds, providing varied heights and textures while maintaining color consistency. Whether you are working on a loom or practicing a herringbone weave, these metallic purple beads provide the reliable quality necessary for professional results.
