This copper plated Fish Bead has a fairly large tubular hole running from its mouth to its tail. The hole is at least 1.3mm in diameter - but some are a bit larger and after we cleaned a bit of wax out of the hole we were able to coax a piece of Greek Leather cord through it. The designs on the fish pressed in to the surface on both sides and are very realistic. Overall size is about 15 x 8mm, 2.7mm at the thickest point. Made from brass with bright copper plating, sold individually.
This fun and fancy antique silver plated tube bead adds a bit of flair to any beaded design. The vine wrapped decorative bead has a large hole for use with cord or can act as a beadcap with 4mm round beads due to the flared hole openings.
Not only does this Silver Plated tube bead have great filigree cutouts, but the hole of the tube is 4.6mm, allowing it to fit on thicker cords or even Pandora style jewelry components.
