Add a deep cobalt blue hue to your jewelry with these transparent, vibrantly colored 6/0 Toho seed beads
The cobalt blue of these Toho 6/0 seed beads instantly adds character to a design. Their transparency allows light to pass through, giving this intense shade even more depth. Thanks to their 6/0 size, they stand out much more than smaller 11/0 or 15/0 seed beads and can therefore become one of the main features of a bracelet, necklace, or pair of earrings.
What can you do with 6/0 seed beads?
For a nautical color palette, pair them with white, red, and a few metallic accents. They’re particularly well-suited for nautical seed bead bracelets, where their deep blue can define the entire pattern. Alternate them with smaller seed beads to play with volume, or use only the 6/0 size for a more graphic look. You can also create colorful earrings by combining cobalt with turquoise, green, or gold. Taking inspiration from these seed bead earrings, vary the lengths and patterns to add movement to your pair. Translucent blue looks particularly striking when paired with metallic elements that reflect light. In a necklace, mix these seed beads with white or pearlescent beads and consider adding a central pendant. You can also create several simple bracelets to layer by simply changing the colors.
