These innovative Toho hybrids are the result of a combined effort between the Japanese Toho bead makers and glass bead producers from the Czech Republic. After these round Toho beads were created in Japan they were sent to the Czech Republic where they were given a beautiful glass coating. The result is a unique and brilliant touch to a classic bead. The consistency of color and size makes these beads perfect for weaving, looming and stringing. These hybrid seed beads have a matte finish with brown and metallic coloring.
