TOHO - Round 8/0 N. 565 - Transparent Crystal

Crystal clear transparency defines these premium Japanese glass beads, offering a timeless aesthetic for any jewelry project. Since 1950, TOHO™ has maintained a legacy of excellence in Hiroshima, producing seed beads that artisans worldwide trust for their remarkable consistency. These TOHO Round 8/0 beads feature a precision-cut shape that ensures every element of your design aligns perfectly, whether you are a beginner or a master crafter. Each 10 g package contains approximately 400 beads, providing a reliable weight-to-count ratio for your artistic calculations.

Japanese manufacturing tradition shines through in the structural integrity of these beads. Unlike standard glass beads, the TOHO Round series is engineered with a significantly larger hole, measuring approximately 1.3 mm. This thoughtful design allows for multiple thread passes, making them an essential component for complex peyote stitch, brick stitch, and herringbone patterns. The generous hole size also permits the use of thicker stringing materials like leather cord or elastic, making them a favorite for modern macramé and minimalist stacking bracelets.

Combining different shapes within the TOHO family opens up endless creative possibilities. These 3.1 mm beads are designed to integrate seamlessly with TOHO Treasure, Demi Round, and Bugle beads. The uniform dimensions across the range ensure that geometric textures remain crisp and professional without the need to cull irregular pieces. Because every bead is identical in size and shape, your loom work and right angle weave projects will maintain a perfectly flat and even surface finish.

Transparency provides a unique opportunity to play with light and internal textures in your beadwork. The Transparent Crystal finish acts as a brilliant prism, capturing ambient light to add a subtle sparkle without overwhelming the color palette. Because they are clear, these beads are perfect for highlighting the color of your stringing material or acting as sophisticated spacers between more vibrant Japanese glass beads. Their versatility makes them a staple in any designer's toolkit, particularly for bridal jewelry and high-end accessories.

Professional results are guaranteed when working with the high-quality standards of TOHO. Every bead is identical, which eliminates the frustration of uneven rows often found with lower-quality alternatives. Whether you are creating intricate beaded embroidery or simple direct-strung necklaces, the uniformity of the Round 8/0 ensures a smooth, polished look. Experience the precision of Japanese craftsmanship and elevate your jewelry designs with beads that represent the pinnacle of glass manufacturing tradition.
