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 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.
