TOHO - Treasure 12/0 N. 650 - Matte-color Iris - Blue

A sleek, modern geometric cuff bracelet woven with peyote stitch showcases the precision of these beads perfectly. The deep, dark violet tones shimmering with an oily metallic sheen create a sophisticated look that transitions effortlessly from day to evening wear. Using TOHO Treasure cylinders ensures that every row of your beadwork sits perfectly flush, resulting in a professional, fabric-like finish that rounded seed beads simply cannot replicate.

Peyote stitch and brick stitch designs benefit immensely from the cylindrical geometry of these Japanese glass beads. Because they are shaped like tiny tubes rather than spheres, they lock together securely to form a smooth, flat surface. This makes them the premier choice for creating detailed patterns, tapestries, and contemporary jewelry pieces where structural integrity and visual alignment are paramount.

Japanese manufacturing precision has been the hallmark of the TOHO company since 1950, ensuring that every bead is identical in its dimensions. This consistent quality and uniformity mean you will spend less time culling irregular beads and more time enjoying the creative process. Whether you are working on loom work or complex herringbone weaves, the reliability of these beads is unmatched.

Deep iridescent hues of plum and midnight teal dance across the matte surface of color code 705. For a multi-dimensional textured effect, try combining these TOHO Treasure cylinders with TOHO Round or Demi Round beads in contrasting finishes. These different shapes are specifically designed to work together, allowing for intricate beadweaving projects with varied heights and light reflection.

Glass construction paired with a generous 0.9 mm hole size makes these 12/0 beads exceptionally versatile for the modern artist. The large hole accommodates multiple thread passes without the risk of breaking the bead, which is a critical feature for right angle weave or three-dimensional structural work. This ease of threading makes them suitable for both beginners and master artisans.

TOHO Treasure beads serve as a premium alternative for those seeking the highest standard in cylindrical beads. The Matte-Color Iris Blue finish provides a velvety, non-reflective base that hides fingerprints while still offering a rich, colorful glow. Investing in these high-quality materials ensures that your handmade jewelry remains a durable and beautiful heirloom for years to come.
