Glow 12mm Mílos Begleri
Glow 12mm Mílos Begleri
With all of our other bead options, it's hard to imagine anything minimalist carving out a new space for itself between our Sigma begleri, our Hydras, our many spherical Boss beads, and the rest of our range. But the Mílos have done just that, offering a distinctive look and feel that works in a variety of setups. These apple-shaped beads are a traditional shape, and were originally modelled after our jade bodhis. In terms of weight and feel, the Mílos have a lot in common with our similarly sized spherical beads, but to the tactile and auditory connoisseurs out there, the differences will be immediately clear.
For our Glow Mílos, we are using a type of POM materail, the same durable stuff known commercially as Delrin, but with a fairly powerful glow. The material technology has come a long ways in recent years, and these beads glow surprisingly brightly, and the light lasts a surprisingly long time. The white colour is the decisive champ in terms of glow effects, but all three are pretty impressive when fully charged up. It doesn't take much to charge them up either.. just a short spell under a bulb our outdoors in light will do the trick.
Details:
- 4x POM 12x10mm Mílos + 2x Titanium 12x10mm Mílos
- Weight: ~13.5g all in
- Colours
- Red
- Blue
- White
- Sorry no mix and match at this time (may be added in the future when we have more inventory)
Note: The Mílos have a 3mm bore, and are designed to run on thinner cords like our 2mm kevlar cord or standard 275 paracord. This is different from most of our other begleri, which have either a 3.5mm or 4mm bore. It is fairly easy to work a cleanly cut and singed piece of soft 550 paracord into the Mílos, but thicker 550 will be a challenge to insert (and if this is your preference, we would recommend choosing another model).
