Imagine the deep, midnight allure of high-gloss obsidian captured in perfectly uniform glass cylinders. These Opaque Jet beads provide a sophisticated, ink-black foundation for your most detailed beadweaving projects, offering a sleek finish that absorbs light with a subtle, professional sheen. Their cylindrical shape is specifically designed to fit together like tiny tiles, creating a crisp and modern look in any handmade jewelry piece.

Precision is at the heart of every TOHO Treasure bead, making them a favorite among professional artists and hobbyists alike. Unlike traditional round seed beads, these Japanese cylinder beads are manufactured with incredible consistency, ensuring that every single bead in your 3 g pack shares identical dimensions. This uniformity is the secret to achieving that coveted flat, professional finish in tight weave patterns.

• Perfect for advanced peyote stitch and brick stitch designs.
• Large 0.9 mm inner hole allows for multiple passes of beading thread.
• High-quality Japanese glass with a durable, light-fast Opaque Jet color.
• Ideally suited for loom work and intricate geometric patterns.

Design intricate patterns or striking monochrome jewelry by leveraging the unique shape of these 12/0 cylinders. They are an excellent choice for herringbone stitch and right angle weave, where the beads lock together to create a dense, textile-like fabric of glass. Whether you are creating a minimalist bracelet or a complex tapestry-style piece, the consistent quality of TOHO ensures your work remains structurally sound.

Japanese manufacturing tradition has defined TOHO since 1950, resulting in a product that pairs beautifully with other members of the TOHO family. We recommend combining these Treasures with TOHO Round or Demi Round beads to add dimensional contrast to your work.
