JAPANESE TOHO™ seed beads are very uniform in size but more cylindrical in shape, with large holes and thinner walls. Most popular for their wide variety of colors and finishes.

TOHO PermaFinish™ beads are finished with a protective clear coating that helps resist fading and improves durability for objects that receive extra ware or exposure to sun and skin.

**GALVANIZED: A shiny finish giving the appearance of metal, also referred to as "metallic". Galvanized finishes are not impervious to acids or constant wear, therefore it is not recommended for items that will spend prolonged periods in contact with skin.**
