Azuki seed beads are a new rising premium "seed bead" brand. Azuki produces several different sizes of seed beads in a wide variety of bold and exciting colors. These particular beads are Metallic Sea Green Size 11/0. You can use Azuki beads in place of almost any design that calls for Miyuki or Toho seed beads.

Azuki rivals Toho & Japanese seed bead brands for quality. While you may need to periodically cull some beads, 99%+ have extremely consistent and symmetrical shape. This amazing quality also comes at a price that is half to 1/3 that of most Miyuki and Toho colors.

Azuki beads are available in large factory-pack style 50 gram packs. These large packs contain about 5,500 size 11/0 seed beads! Most Miyuki & Toho tubes are sold by 14 grams, so you get 3.5x more per pack.
