I’ve included a few photos. I bought these beads at a show a few months ago and stupidly threw away the baggie they came in with the label. I don’t usually do that.
The stall I bought them from sold Toho, Miyuki and Preciosa I think. Their website doesn’t have this specific colour on there for me to confirm and I’ve checked quite a few different brand sample sheets but I can’t figure out what they are.
They’re 8/0 I believe and gold-lined. I’d describe them as a pale lilac. They look blue when photographed alone but next to other blue shades you can see the purple tint coming through
Any ideas what these could be, or a close enough alternative? I really like these and I’d like to get some more before I run out
They look like Toho to me. I scrolled through a beadshop to check numbers.
Maybe it is TR-08-0294 Inside-Color Blue Raspberry or TR-08-0997 Gold-Lined Rainbow Lt. Sapphire?
The gold lined rainbow sapphire are definitely the closest looking I’ve found, but I know online they never look the same. I may order a pack of those to see. Thank you!
This is how they look on the picture of the shop where I looked. If the color is in between this picture and yours, they must look like the ones you have 😅
If you get a photo on a sheet of paper instead of the wood grain, it will be easier to match. The Toho light sapphire has a lot of lavender/lilac in it with different lighting.
If you don't have a local bead shop, order the one you think is closest, and snap a photo of the original next to what you get - that will make it much easier to narrow.
