What is a Rainbow FInish?

“Rainbow” refers to an iridescent surface finish that reflects shifting colors as the bead catches the light, adding extra depth and dimension without changing the bead’s base color.

Transparent vs. Frosted Rainbow Beads

Transparent rainbow beads allow light to pass through the glass, creating a brighter, more luminous effect, while frosted rainbow beads have a soft matte surface that diffuses the shine for a subtler, velvety look.

Choosing a TOHO Bead Size

For bead weaving, 11/0 is the most versatile size for detailed patterns, 8/0 is easier to handle and works well for bolder designs, and 6/0 is ideal for larger-scale jewelry and quick projects.

Rounds, Treasures, Triangles, and Demi Rounds

Rounds are the classic all-purpose choice; Treasures have a cylindrical shape that creates smooth, even rows; Triangles add texture and angular sparkle; and Demi Rounds are thinner than standard rounds, making them useful for detailed edging, tight spacing, and layered designs.
