Drilled on one side instead of the center, 3.4mm Japanese drop beads are shaped like tiny teardrops or pendants. Drop beads are ideal at the bottom of fringe, and they are also fun to string and wire wrap. The holes will fit onto .024" beading wire and 20 gauge wire. When strung, about 14 beads make up an inch.
