TOHO Round 3/0 Tube 2.5" : Opaque Dk Gray

Not every seed bead needs to overwhelm delicate designs with excessive bulk; this one keeps it to a substantial yet manageable scale for structural projects. These king beads jewelry components offer the ideal weight for makers seeking bold texture without sacrificing precision in their work. The opaque dark gray finish provides a versatile neutral tone that anchors colorful patterns or stands alone in minimalist leather cord beads creations.

* Precision-crafted in Hiroshima, Japan, these 3 0 tube opaque beads measure 5.5 mm in diameter, 4.0 mm in length, and 6.0 mm in width with a spacious 2.0 mm hole size suitable for heavy cords like leather and hemp or up to 14–18 gauge wire fit.
* Each 2.5 inch tube contains approximately 40–52 beads weighing 8–9 grams total, yielding about 4–7 beads per inch and 5–6 beads per gram for consistent spacing in macramé, beaded braids kit projects, bags, and boot lace beads applications.
* Designed for beginner hands and experienced artisans alike, these round tubes feature uniform sizing that ensures professional results in beginner beading set projects while maintaining the quality expected from premium Japanese glass beads.
* Preserve the finish by avoiding contact with perfumes, hairspray, or household cleaners, gently wipe with a soft dry microfiber cloth when needed, and store in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent long-term fading of metallic or galvanized finishes.
* Current market trends show rising demand for tactile embellishments in handmade accessories, making these heavy cord beads an excellent choice for creators exploring textured jewelry, woven textiles, and mixed media art that requires durable, light-catching elements with reliable dimensional consistency.

These beads are sold as described with all specifications verified for accuracy, ensuring you receive exactly what is listed for your creative endeavors. Please review the measurements carefully before purchasing to confirm compatibility with your chosen thread, wire, or cord thickness, as the generous 2.0 mm hole accommodates multiple passes of thinner materials or single strands of heavier options commonly used in contemporary beadwork and fiber arts.
