miyuki drop 3.4 mm - 24kt gold plated 191

Drops and magatamas both have the shape of a drop, but when you compare them to each other, the drops have a smaller point and a smaller hole, so they're a bit more slender. Where the magatamas have 2 flat sides, the drops are completely round.

They are available in 2 sizes, which are 2,8 mm and 3,4 mm and here you are looking at the bigger one of 3,4 mm.

You can use them as an accent bead in many different types of techniques. For example in a bracelet with peyote or a weaving bracelet you can use them in certain places, to create more depth in your piece.

Colortype Plated

Plated is a color type where precious metals are used to create the color. They come in the colors gold, silver, copper and bronze and are very popular, as they have a deeper gloss than other color types.

Be aware that the color type Plated can change due to friction or skin contact. We recommend that you handle this with care. This problem is less likely to occur with projects such as bead embroidery or earrings where there is no friction.
