Literally meaning "curved bead" in Japanese, magatama beads are cut at a slight angle from front to back. The hole is near the top, like a drop bead. When strung, magatama beads form surprising shapes because of the angled cut. They also make lovely fringe trims.
This listing is for 20 grams (about 175 beads) of 4x7mm Long Magatama Seed Beads, Code No. LMA-4511L, Picasso Smoky Black Lustre.
