Drilled on one side instead of the center, Japanese drop and magatama beads are shaped like tiny teardrops or pendants. Woven with a needle, these beads form surprising shapes and impart an unusual texture to jewelry. These distinctive beads are ideal at the bottom of fringe. They are also fun to string and wire wrap. FusionBeads.com offers 2.8mm and 3.4mm drop beads and 4x7mm magatama beads.
