These round copper beads are as pictured. I already made one necklace using them and only had to touch up one bead with my dremel (this necklace is for sale - if for just me, I would have left it alone). I am headed to the local craft store today for more spacers so I cam use more of the copper beads. They work well when spaced with 4 mm beads (as the holes are over 3 mm).
