TOHO - Treasure 12/0 N. 601 - Ceylon Custard

Sun-kissed Ceylon Custard tones bring a delicate warmth to intricate jewelry projects requiring the utmost precision. These premium Japanese glass beads from the renowned manufacturer TOHO represent a legacy of quality dating back to 1950. As cylinder beads, they are specifically engineered to sit flush against one another, creating a remarkably smooth, fabric-like surface that defines high-end beadweaving.

Mastering the peyote stitch or brick stitch becomes an effortless experience thanks to the incredible uniformity of the TOHO Treasure 12/0 line. Every bead is manufactured to identical dimensions, ensuring that geometric patterns and flat surfaces remain perfectly straight without the need for constant culling. They serve as a sophisticated Japanese alternative to Miyuki Delica, offering designers a rich palette for loom work and herringbone designs.

Traditional craftsmanship meets modern engineering in the large hole design of these seed beads. With a 0.9 mm hole size, these beads accommodate multiple thread passes, which is essential for complex right angle weave (RAW) or reinforced jewelry making components. The Ceylon finish provides a soft, pearlescent glow that interacts beautifully with natural light, making them a favorite for bridal accessories and spring-inspired collections.

Harmonizing different shapes is simple when working within the TOHO ecosystem. We recommend combining these Treasure beads with TOHO Round, Demi Round, or Bugle beads to add depth and architectural interest to your work. Each 3 g pack (containing approximately 600 pieces) provides the perfect amount for detailed accents or small handmade jewelry sets where consistency is paramount.

Soft yellow palettes are currently trending in the DIY fashion world, particularly when paired with gold or white metals. Whether you are creating a minimalist beaded ring or a wide beaded cuff, the TOHO 903 color code ensures you can return to this exact shade for future repairs or matching sets. The durability of Japanese glass combined with the refined custard yellow hue makes these an evergreen choice for professional jewelry designers.
