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

Color lined means that the core of the bead is colored. You can often recognize the color of the bead itself from the name, but in all cases the white core is visible. These kind of beads are less suitable for weaving or peyote, because the outside of the bead is transparent. And when it is next to an opaque color in the bracelet, it seems that one bead is shorter than the other. This makes the bracelt look uneven and not completely aligned. This is less visible with delica beads than with seed beads.
