Each strand measures approximately 24" with interspersed interlocking and cylindrical spacer beads. Each strand is unique and may vary slightly from photo.

    I am going to experiment with them for a project with stones to see how they do.

    Lovely beads

    Love the color, if a little smaller than I expected. Still having trouble with metric measurements.
