These 14-karat yellow gold roundel beads are donut shaped. The concave sunken center allows for the bead to lie smoothly against round beads, including small ones, making these beads the ideal spacer to alternate stone beads and pearls. Add this bead to an ear wire before finishing the end of the wire . The rondelle bead presents a bright, smooth finish that accents with other strung elements. Roundels work well alone on stringing designs and are outstanding combined with other beads and elements. Made in the largest USA precious metal refinery.
