These are beautifully made gunmetal black beads. The base metal is brass which has been coated with a gun metal gray coat. These beads work beautifully for a variety of crafts like wire work, micro-macrame or just as beautiful spacers for beaded jewellery.
I use beads in almost all my wire work as they create a beautiful finish and add detail to the designs.
I also carry bare copper and bare copper 'pumpkin' beads, square and half round wire as well as gallery wire. Please take a look at my other listings to check availability.
Bead measurments are rounded off to the nearest 0.5 mm for simplicity. I have listed their actual size next to the display size, as well as their hole sizes:
2 mm bead (2.1 mm) - hole size - 1.2 mm
2.5 mm bead (2.4 mm) - hole size - 1.2 mm
3 mm bead (3.2 mm) - hole size - 1.2 mm
4 mm bead (4 mm) - hole size - 1 mm
5 mm bead (4.8 mm) - hole size - 1 mm (size is roughly 4.8 mm)
6 mm bead (6.3 mm) - hole size - 1.5 mm
8 mm bead (8mm) - hole size - 1.7 mm
9.5 mm bead (2.1 mm) - hole size 1.7 mm
Please note that the sizes are approximate and can vary slightly.
