This 16 in. strand includes 73 Andean white onyx stone beads hand-cut in a rondel shape, drilled, and polished by Peruvian crafts people. Their finish is natural and uncoated.

Because they are hand-carved, there are variations in the sizes of the beads and in the sizes and positions of the holes. They vary between about 7-9 mm in diameter and are 5-6 mm thick. The holes are about 1 mm across.

At the end of the strand are stainless steel screw clasps. This strand is intended to be a necklace, but is strung on fishing line. It is measured without the clasps.
