Large Hole Beads (Greek Ceramic Beads, Gold Plated): Ceramic bead rondelles or very short tubes, gold plated, 8mm x 5mm. We use them as spacers or end beads before the bead tips. These Ceramic Beads, Gold Plated are exceptionally hard wearing due to the high temperature used when firing the gold onto the ceramic base. These beads are very individually shaped--not for perfectionists.
