Delica seed beads are extremely uniform cylinder beads created by Miyuki in Japan. Delicas come in a variety of sizes and a wide range of hundreds of colors. They can either be smooth or six sided (hex-cut). Delica beads are preferred by artists for loom work or off-loom bead weaving projects that require an even, symmetrical appearance.
TOHO means 'Eastern Treasure'. Toho seed beads are similar to Miyuki seed beads. They are made in Japan by the Toho Bead Company, a company well know for its attention to detail, and for manufacturing high quality beads that are uniform in shape.
