Glass beads
FEATURES OF TOHO BEADS
1. Larger hole
Toho beads are designed to have a larger hole that allows for even more passes through for threads. The larger hole also creates lighter beads, which gives you more beads by weight. The drawings below show the hole of round, cube, triangle and square hole beads. The cut holes of inside colored or silver lined beads give an exquisite shine.
2. Consistent size,
shape and quality
The beads we develop are used worldwide as luxurious products because of their extremely consistent quality.
