To many, Miyuki is the very embodiment of fine Japanese seed beads, and there's a good reason for that. The beads are quality-checked throughout the production process, making them remarkably uniform in both shape and size – and it's precisely this uniformity that makes your finished work look so smooth and calm to the eye, whether you're weaving in peyote, brick stitch or on your bead loom.
With us, you'll find both the cylindrical Delica and the round Rocailles in a wide range of colors and finishes, from calm matte tones to deep metallic shimmers. You can safely choose Miyuki when you want to be sure of a result that lasts – both in quality and in look.

Looking for the same high quality, but want a bit more for your money? Then TOHO is an obvious choice. TOHO is a Japanese bead brand that, like Miyuki, places great emphasis on precise measurements and uniformity, and the beads are quality-checked continuously throughout production. You'll notice the difference mostly in the price: you get beads of the same strong quality, but typically at a somewhat more reasonable price.
TOHO and Miyuki aren't entirely identical – among other things, there's a slight difference in hole size, which gives the beads their own character. It's worth keeping in mind if you mix them in the same project, but in practice most people work just as happily with both.
