miyuki magatama 4 mm - fuchsia lined ab smoky amethyst 2170

Drops and magatamas both have the same drop shape, but the magatamas have a wider flared point with a larger hole. This makes them ideal for using with Kumihimo. The bead is also flatter on both sides, which lets them sit nice next to each other. In comparison to the drops they are a little more plump, because the drops have a more rounded point and a smaller hole. In addition to the regular magatama beads, you also have the Long Magatama, which are larger and longer with skewed ends, so a really different shape than these magatamas.

Colortype Color lined ab

Color lined means that the core of the bead is of a certain color. And the color of the core is more visible and often exceeds the color of the bead itself. AB (Aurora Borealis) has also been added to these beads, an extra coating that creates a multi-colored effect. The beads are transparent on the sides and therefore will appear smaller next to, for example, opaque (opaque) colors, if they are used next to each other in a bracelet. Then it seems as if the side of the bracelet is not completely aligned. This is less visible with delica beads than with seed beads.
