TOHO - Round 8/0 N. 180 - Trans-rainbow Ruby

Ruby red tones come alive with a shimmering iridescent finish in these premium TOHO Round 8/0 glass beads. Originating from the prestigious Japanese tradition of glassmaking that dates back to 1950, these Japanese glass beads offer an exceptional level of precision and consistency. The 165C Trans-Rainbow Ruby finish creates a dynamic surface that reflects light beautifully, making it a perfect choice for statement jewelry pieces that require a touch of luxury and depth. Because every bead is identical in size and shape, your peyote stitch, brick stitch, or loom work will result in a perfectly even and professional-looking fabric of glass.

Beadweaving enthusiasts will appreciate the uniformity and remarkably large hole of these seed beads, which allow for multiple thread passes in complex patterns without the risk of breaking. They are specifically engineered to work seamlessly with other high-quality shapes, such as Matubo™ SuperDuo beads, where they can serve as reliable spacers or structural accents in dimensional designs. Whether you are a beginner exploring basic stringing or a professional artist working on intricate bead embroidery, the manufacturing precision of these Round 8/0 beads ensures that your creative vision is executed with technical perfection.

Stringing these beads onto various materials is remarkably simple thanks to their generous hole diameter, meaning they can even be used with thicker cords for macramé or contemporary fiber arts. They pair magnificently with Miyuki Tila beads for modern geometric designs that blend different Japanese aesthetic traditions. For a striking contrast, try pairing this rich ruby shade with jet black accents, or keep the look warm by using gold-plated findings to enhance the fiery rainbow glow. Each 10 g package contains approximately 400 beads, providing a consistent and high-quality foundation for any jewelry project.
