Mini Sigma Begleri - Exotic Metal Editions
Mini Sigma Begleri - Exotic Metal Editions
The "Mini Sigma" begleri are a very unconventional set of beads, and frankly speaking, everything about them is wrong. They are too small, and too light, and even the name is wrong. They aren't actually a scaled down version of the Sigmas begleri.. they are a bead design unto themselves. These beads were purpose built for our MKUltras, but after stringing them up as a begleri, we realized that against all logic, they actually make an incredibly fun little set. While we don't recommend these as a first or only set of begleri, players who are looking for a fresh experience, or an unobtrusive little set to keep on the keychain or in the coat pocket, these beads may fit the bill. They are fun, light, and relatively quiet, and with minor adjustments to timing, technique, and possibly cord length, you'll find they are a highly capable little set of beads.
Zircuti Edition
The elegant Zircuti material is forged from folded layers of titanium and zirconium, then precision machined, polished, and torched to create eye-popping colour patterns, reminiscent of wood grain. When machined to our specifications, the grains of the material become exposed in a way that accentuates the appearance of the curves, creating a beautiful topographic relief. These beads feature a slight etch, giving them a lightly textured feel that provides some grip as well as an interesting tactile feel you won't find in other sets.
- Weight: ~ 1.6g per bead; ~9.6g all in with cord
- Size: 6*9mm with 3.5mm bore
- Strung on AO2's new custom silk cord
Zirconium Edition
These beautiful zirconium models are precision machined from solid zirconium, and then polished and torched to a gorgeous finish. The material has a deep grey/ black finish, which has the appearance of some depth.
- weight: ~2g per bead; ~12g all in with cord
- size: 6*9mm with 3.5mm bore
- Strung on AO2's new custom silk cord
Mokuti Edition
The distinctive Mokuti editions of the MKUltras are in a class of their own. The elegant Mokuti material is forged from folded layers of titanium, then precision machined, polished, and torched to create eye-popping colour patterns, reminiscent of wood grain. When machined to our specifications, the grains of the material become exposed in a way that accentuates the appearance of the curves, creating a beautiful topographic relief. These beads feature a slight etch, giving them a lightly textured feel that provides some grip as well as an interesting tactile feel you won't find in other sets.
- weight: ~1.4g per bead; ~8.3g all in with cord
- size: 6*9mm with 3.5mm bore
- Strung on AO2's new custom silk cord
