AD BeadsSolid Metal 10 Pieces 12x13mm Lion Head Spacer Assorted Mixed Color Beads for necklace bracelet craft design

I bought these to weight the ends of leather lanyards on my pirate cosplay outfit. I couldn’t thread the lanyards through so ended up drilling them out. I used an 1/8” bit first then a 9/64” bit and that enlarged them enough to get the lanyards through. If you drill yours out be careful, go slow, and drill from the mouth side. I ruined one trying to drill from the other side because it tore the mouth up going out.These are metal as it says, finished in various colors. I found I ended up with 3 pairs that matched and 4 more pieces that didn’t match (see pic). I ended up ordering a 2nd set because I needed 4 that matched, and the 2nd set had the same color makeup and quantity as the first so that worked fine.I put two on a lanyard on my shirt and 4 on lanyards on my wrist bracers. They look nice and weight the ends of the lanyards just enough so that they hang straight and don’t swing around too much.Overall they’re great, I only gave 4 stars instead of 5 due to the small size.

I originally bought these beads for a para cord bracelet, but the hole is too small! I love them so much that I will keep them and use them on another project! They are very attractive and plenty of them for a good project!

I was looking for something cool to hold my little pouches I was making closed and it worked perfectly. I used 3mm cord which was slightly larger than the opening. But all I had to do was cut the tip in half about an inch of length to feed it through the opening. Once it came through I was able to pull it through no issue and it was nice and snug which is what I wanted. I was hoping it would be a little bigger but that's on me for not reading. They ended up working and I'm actually here to order more right now so.

The pictures make these look larger than they are. Check the measurements.

Nice heavy beads.

These are nice, heavy beads that seem to be solid metal. I gave five stars because I got exactly what it said: 10 beads of mixed colors.However, the first batch I ordered (group of ten on top in the photos) had few matching pairs. Again, the product listing did say “mixed” not “matching.” I especially like the beads with black outlines, but because there were beads with and without outlines, finding matches was even harder, so I tried my luck and bought a second bag (bottom group in photos). I managed to get the pairs I needed for my project between the two groups. The colors can vary in shade, but I got what I needed.FYI: The hole opening is 2mm, so a thin cord can be used with these. 8mm round beads pair the best with these (as you can see in the third photo, the back of the dragon’s head is curved inward). The dragon’s fangs can also be used to put a string/cord/loop through.Overall, I would definitely buy these again—but it would be better if they bags contained all matching pairs. I highly recommend buying more than one bag.

They are heavy I can tell u that but I was washing and bleach touched my bracelet and slightly changed the color and tarnish it

They are small but I could fit a needle through to get them onto the ribbon so it was fine for my purposes. Really cool, I’ll probably buy them again for future projects
