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 Silver Champagne Size 8/0. This "metallic silver champagne" color is Azuki's name for "Crystal Labrador Full," with the same coating as produced in the Czech Republic. 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 8/0 seed beads! Most Miyuki & Toho tubes are sold by 14 grams, so you get 3.5x more per pack.
