Bugle beads belong to a group of beads called seed beads that are usually used as spacers between other beads in the jewellery you are making. Bugle beads are cylindrical glass tubes that vary in sizes and colour, quality, and country in origin.  Japanese bugle beads by Miyuki & Matsuno are very consistent in colour, length and diameter which is important when making jewellery that require precise measurements.
