TOHO - Takumi Large-hole 11/0 N. 710 - Metallic Iris Purple

Metallic Iris Purple is a deep, luxurious shade that brings a mysterious energy to any jewelry project. These TOHO Takumi beads are a specialized version of the classic round seed bead, designed with an extra-large 0.9 mm hole. This makes them a favorite for complex patterns where you need to pass your thread through the same bead multiple times without the risk of breaking the glass.

When you are working with techniques like the peyote stitch, brick stitch, or loom work, the precision of Japanese manufacturing really shines through. TOHO has been producing these premium glass beads since 1950, and their commitment to uniformity is legendary. Every bead is practically identical in size and shape, ensuring that your finished beadwork has a clean, professional appearance every time.

• Extra-large hole design perfect for multi-pass thread techniques.
• Stunning Metallic Iris finish with iridescent shifts of green and blue.
• Consistent Japanese quality for perfectly symmetrical patterns.
• Ideal for pairing with TOHO Treasures or Demi Rounds for texture.

What I love about these Takumi rounds is how they simplify the beading process for beginners and experts alike. The larger hole diameter doesn't just help with multiple thread passes; it also makes them compatible with slightly thicker jewelry cords. The Metallic Iris Purple finish offers a rich, oil-slick luster that changes beautifully as it catches the light, adding a sophisticated edge to your designs.

Japanese glass beads are globally recognized for their durability and high-end finishes. Because TOHO beads are designed to work together, you can easily combine these round beads with TOHO Bugle or Cube shapes to create geometric depth. The color consistency across the entire TOHO catalog means you can trust that color code 85 will match perfectly, regardless of the bead shape you choose.

Beading with high-quality components like these makes the entire creative experience more rewarding. You won't have to waste time sorting through misshapen beads, allowing you to focus entirely on your artistic vision. Whether you are creating a detailed floral embroidery or a structured geometric necklace, these Takumi large-hole beads provide the reliability and beauty that only a Japanese master manufacturer can offer.
