Beads such as these are exceedingly hard to find. Each bead measures approximately 8-11 x 10mm, with a hole size of approximately 2mm. You will receive one strand measuring approximately 28". There are around 60 beads on each strand. Beads will show some signs of age and some beads may be cracked or chipped. Each strand is unique and you will receive the exact strand pictured.
