TOHO - Round 8/0 N. 1210 - Silver-lined Frosted Siam Ruby

A vintage-inspired statement bracelet or a pair of rich, velvet-textured earrings comes to life with the addition of these deep red glass elements. TOHO Round 8/0 beads in Silver-Lined Frosted Siam Ruby offer a unique depth, where the internal silver lining glows subtly through the matte exterior. This contrast creates a sophisticated look that mimics the texture of natural gemstones or luxurious textiles, making them perfect for high-end jewelry making projects that require a touch of moody elegance.

Beading enthusiasts often choose this 3.1 mm size for its versatility in structural techniques like peyote stitch, herringbone, and loom work. Because these Japanese glass beads are manufactured with legendary precision, every single piece is identical in size and shape, ensuring that your finished patterns remain perfectly flat and uniform. The consistent quality of TOHO products makes them a favorite among professionals who require mathematical accuracy in their intricate designs.

Japanese craftsmanship shines through in the engineering of the large hole, which measures 1.3 mm. This generous opening allows for multiple thread passes, making these beads ideal for complex multi-pass techniques or for use with thicker stringing materials like leather cord and elastic. A 10 g package contains approximately 400 beads, providing ample material for a medium-sized project or for creating bold accents within delicate beadweaving compositions.

Integrating different shapes from the same manufacturer is easy, as these round beads are designed to combine flawlessly with TOHO Treasure, Bugle, and Demi Round varieties. Whether you are working on a textured right angle weave or a bold brick stitch pendant, the Silver-Lined Frosted finish provides a muted glow that coordinates beautifully with metallic components. These beads embody the long-standing tradition of Japanese manufacturing precision that has been celebrated by global artisans since 1950.
