Who doesn't need some bling in their life? These gold-plated beads will add shine to any project. The beads are 7.5 mm. They have a good-sized hole which will accommodate a 1.5 mm cord easily and a 2 mm cord with some persuasion. The beads are round. They derive their bling from both some fine texture on the beads and some patterned cuts. Price is for 25 beads.
