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 Metallic matte

The metallic colors are very popular, as the colors bronze, copper and gold are ideal to combine with most other colors. Metallic finish is applied over an opaque glass bead to create the appearance of a metallic surface. The outside has been treated in such a way that it has become less smooth and it is not possible to see through.
