8/0 Japanese Seed Bead Glow in the Dark Crystal/Blue

Japanese 8/0 seed beads are wonderful medium sized beads that have many uses. They are halfway in between a smaller 11/0 and a larger 6/0 seed bead. They are great for bead weaving, peyote stitch, bead embroidery, Kumihimo, waist beads or as spacers in between stones. Japanese seed beads have more consistency and larger holes than their Czech counterparts.

We sell these Japanese beads by the 6″ tube. Each tube holds approximately 1 ounce. There are approximately 1,050 beads per ounce. There are about 13 beads per inch.

These special Crystal colored beads have a phosphorescent lining on the inside of the bead that will glow Blue. Charge them under a regular light or expose then to UV.

Please Note: It was difficult to take pictures of these beads in the dark, some of the beads have a softer glow, but they do in fact glow! Don’t forget to ‘charge’ these beads under a bright light to enhance their glow.
