Drop seed beads can also be called fringe beads, or if manufactured in Japan, are often called Megatamas. These teardrop shaped Czech seed beads by Jablonex are just like Czech rocaille seed beads but have an offset hole and are thicker on one side. Drop seed beads are wonderful for fringes, the ends of strands, or to add extra texture within a strand. If you enjoy these tradition Czech glass beads be sure to check out our other Jablonex products like Czech glass pearls, Czech pressed glass beads and Czech fire polished beads.
