Miyuki also has Magatama beads and Long Magatama beads. Where the regular magatama beads are more drop-shaped and smaller at the top, the long Magatama beads have the same width from top to bottom. Long magatama beads are also flat at the front and back, which makes them more rectangular shaped. They sit next to each other quite nicely. The top and bottom are made skewed, so the bead faces a certain direction. Because of this you cannot thread them into a bracelet with for example peyote or right angle weave, but you can use them very well in, for example, Bead Embroidery. Also as accent beads as an extra row in a bracelet, they work really well and because of the shape they have, you can easily create a beautiful scale effect, like dragons have.

Colortype Duracoat galvanized matte

Duracoat galvanized has an extra protective layer to better protect the originally galvanized color. And with this color type, they are also treated in such a way that the bead does not shine and is less smooth. The matte colors often seem just a bit more full of color than the glossy ones. This added coating will make the beading hole a little smaller, keep this in mind when you choose your needle and thread.
