TOHO - Treasure 12/0 N. 629 - Metallic Rainbow Iris

Metallic Rainbow Iris reflects a spectrum of deep oil-slick tones, bringing a dark, sophisticated mystery to any beadwork project. These Japanese glass beads are manufactured by TOHO, a company renowned since 1950 for its precision and excellence. The iridescent finish on a metallic base creates a dynamic surface that shifts color as the light hits it, making them a favorite for statement jewelry pieces that require a touch of modern elegance.

Peyote stitch and brick stitch patterns benefit immensely from the precision of TOHO Treasure beads. Because they are perfectly cylindrical seed beads, they fit together like tiny tiles, resulting in a smooth, flat fabric that is much more uniform than standard round beads. Their consistency ensures that your geometric designs and tapestries maintain a professional, high-end appearance with perfectly straight edges and zero gaps.

Loom work enthusiasts often choose these size 12/0 cylinders because they provide a sleek alternative to other brands while maintaining the highest quality standards. Each bead features an impressively large hole of 0.9 mm, allowing for multiple thread passes without the risk of breaking the glass. This technical advantage makes them ideal for complex beadweaving techniques like herringbone or right angle weave, where durability and precision are paramount for the structure of the piece.

Combining different shapes within the TOHO ecosystem opens up endless creative possibilities for the modern artisan. Try pairing these Treasures with TOHO Round or Demi Round beads in complementary finishes to add texture and depth to your embroidery or woven designs. Rooted in the rich heritage of Japanese manufacturing, every 3 g pack offers the reliability and beauty required for creating timeless, artisan-quality jewelry that stands out.
