miyuki drop 3.4 mm - Czech coating crystal heliotrope 4554

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 Czech coating

Czech coating is a beautiful and varied color type, which is added to the Miyuki beads in the Czech Republic. A spotty coating in glossy or matte has been added in various ways, sometimes also with a slightly different colored side of the bead. Because this color was added to the base color later, it can disappear more quickly when it comes into contact with the skin or there is friction.
