Miyuki pearls, but what are they?

And, icing on the cake, the Miyuki have a hole large enough to pass the thread moreeurs times in its center, which allows you to consolidate your creation, without having any problem with the wire getting stuck.
How are Miyuki made?
Seed beads are all made from colored glass paste. For Miyuki, to achieve this regularity, the glass paste is poured into a tube, which can have different shapes, because you can find Miyuki that are not round. Once cast, the glass is then blown onto the edges of the tube to give it its final shape. The long tubes thus created are then cut with precision, then passed with carbon powder. The beads are then heated again to round them. Then, the miyuki are rinsed, then polished and finally worked according to the desired effect. They are then carefully stored in small bags, ready to be transformed by you into superb creations.
