TOHO - Round 15/0 N. 513 - Metallic Moss

Metallic Moss 89 serves as a sophisticated foundation for intricate beadweaving projects requiring the highest level of dimensional accuracy. These Japanese glass beads are manufactured by TOHO with legendary precision, ensuring that each individual unit maintains strict tolerances for both outer diameter and hole consistency. The deep, lustrous green finish provides a professional metallic sheen that shifts subtly under different lighting conditions, making it a versatile choice for organic or industrial-inspired jewelry designs.

Achieving complex geometric patterns depends on the uniformity of the glass. Because TOHO seed beads are engineered to be identical in size, they stack perfectly in advanced techniques such as peyote stitch, brick stitch, and loom work. Professional crafters value the 15/0 size for adding fine details, creating smooth gradients, or finishing edges where larger beads would appear too bulky. The structural integrity of these beads allows for multiple thread passes, which is essential for high-tension weaving.

Designing with a palette of TOHO shapes offers endless creative possibilities for the discerning artisan. These Round 15/0 beads are specifically designed to work harmoniously with other types, including Treasure, Demi Round, and Bugle beads. By combining these different profiles, you can create three-dimensional textures and structural jewelry pieces that maintain their shape over time. The large hole characteristic of the Japanese manufacturing process ensures that even these tiny 1.5 mm beads remain user-friendly for multi-pass designs.

Professional bead embroidery and couture embellishments benefit greatly from the rich, Metallic Moss finish. Its dark, forest-inspired hue provides a luxurious alternative to standard black or silver, adding depth and a touch of mystery to any piece. Whether you are creating a delicate pair of fringe earrings or an elaborate beaded necklace, these premium Japanese glass beads offer the reliability and aesthetic excellence required for heirloom-quality jewelry making.
