TOHO - Takumi Large-hole 11/0 N. 712 - Higher-metallic Dragonfly

Vibrant shifts of violet and emerald characterize the Higher-Metallic Dragonfly finish, making these TOHO Takumi beads a premium choice for high-end jewelry making supplies. The iridescent surface mimics the natural sheen of exotic wings, offering a luxurious depth that transforms simple designs into professional masterpieces. These Japanese glass treasures provide a sophisticated color palette that is essential for any designer’s collection.

Japanese glass beads from TOHO are celebrated for their exceptional consistency and uniformity. Since 1950, the manufacturer has maintained a tradition of precision, ensuring that every TTR-11-505 bead is identical in dimension. This extreme level of quality control allows for flawless alignment in dense patterns, which is why they are the preferred choice for couture beadwork worldwide.

Precision beadwork techniques such as peyote stitch and brick stitch benefit immensely from the specialized large hole seed beads design. With a hole diameter of 0.9 mm, the Takumi series allows for multiple thread passes without the risk of breaking the bead or jamming the needle. This feature is particularly valuable for complex structural weaving and intricate sculptural jewelry.

11/0 seed beads in the Takumi line offer a larger inner diameter than standard rounds while maintaining the classic outer size. This makes them ideal for complex TOHO round beads patterns where thread management is critical. Whether you are working on a loom or creating free-form embroidery, these beads provide the space needed for advanced stitching techniques without sacrificing the delicate look of traditional seed beads.

Metallic purple teal beads are perfectly suited for contemporary jewelry trends, offering a rich color depth that pairs beautifully with dark gemstones or mixed metal components. The Dragonfly finish creates a dynamic visual effect that changes with the angle of light, ensuring that every bracelet or necklace you craft has its own unique, shimmering personality.

Professional jewelry designers often pair these Takumi rounds with TOHO Treasure or Bugle beads to achieve harmonious color combinations and varied textures. The entire TOHO ecosystem is designed to work together, allowing you to mix shapes like Demi Rounds and Cubes while maintaining a consistent color story across your entire jewelry project.
