TOHO - Round 8/0 N. 572 - Silver-lined Milky Grapefruit

Vibrant Silver-lined Milky Grapefruit tones bring a refreshing, tropical energy to any jewelry project. These premium Japanese glass beads offer an exquisite blend of a soft, milky translucency and a brilliant silver core that catches the light from within. The warm peach-orange hue makes them a standout choice for summer-themed designs, floral patterns, or statement necklaces that require a touch of radiance.

Working with TOHO Round 8/0 seed beads ensures a level of precision that professional beaders truly appreciate. Because each bead is manufactured with incredible uniformity in Japan, your rows of peyote or brick stitch will lay perfectly flat and even. The consistent 3.1 mm size is large enough to add tactile texture to a piece while remaining delicate enough for intricate weaving and sophisticated geometric patterns.

If you enjoy exploring fiber arts, you will find that these beads are incredibly versatile. The signature large hole of approximately 1.3 mm allows for multiple thread passes or the use of thicker materials like elastic cord and leather. A 10 g package contains approximately 400 beads, providing plenty of material for beginners and macramé enthusiasts to create durable and professional-looking accessories without needing specialized needles.

Designing with a combination of different shapes from the same manufacturer can really elevate your artistic vision. I recommend pairing these Round beads with TOHO Treasure for a contrast in texture or adding TOHO Demi Round for fine edge detailing. Since all Japanese TOHO beads are designed to work together harmoniously, you can mix and match finishes to create a unique, multi-dimensional masterpiece that showcases your personal style.
