TOHO - Treasure 12/0 N. 653 - Matte-color Cassiopeia

Japanese engineering precision defines these TOHO Treasure cylinder beads, offering unparalleled uniformity for high-end jewelry design. Each 1.8 mm bead is manufactured with a 0.9 mm hole, ensuring that multiple thread passes are smooth and effortless during complex stitching. The Matte-Color Cassiopeia finish provides a sophisticated, non-reflective surface with a deep, multi-tonal shift of purple and bronze that mimics the mystery of the night sky.

Professional beaders value these cylindrical beads for their ability to lock together perfectly. When used in tight-weave techniques, they create a remarkably flat, textile-like surface that is far superior to standard round beads. This structural integrity makes them the primary choice for intricate patterns and geometric designs where every millimeter of alignment counts toward the final aesthetic.

• Exceptional uniformity for flawless peyote stitch and brick stitch projects.
• Large interior hole diameter allows for complex multi-pass threadwork without breakage.
• Precision-cut edges ensure a smooth, snag-free finish in wearable beaded jewelry.
• Perfectly compatible with TOHO Round and Demi Round for adding texture.

These Japanese glass beads are particularly effective in loom work and herringbone stitch, where their consistent shape prevents the warping often found with lower-quality materials. The 12/0 size provides a delicate yet sturdy resolution for detailed portraits and tapestries. Their consistency ensures that the tension of your weave remains even throughout the entire length of the piece.

Integrating these beads into a mixed-media design adds a layer of artisanal quality that only premium TOHO beads can provide. The 708 color code ensures consistency across different batches, making it a reliable staple for professional production. Whether you are crafting a high-fashion statement cuff or delicate earrings, the professional-grade finish ensures your creative work stands the test of time.
