Miyuki Drop Beads
Miyuki drop beads come in three sizes - regular 3.4mm (DP), 2.8mm (DP28), and Long Drop 3mm x 5.5mm (LDP). Drop shaped seed beads have their hole at one end of the bead, so the bead hangs from the thread or wire like a teardrop. Long drops are shaped more like a grain of rice, but the other two sizes have a traditional water drop shape.
