Introducing large-holed Washi Beads made exclusively by Sheri Marker, Embassybeads to add on to your customizeable Pandora/Biagi/Troll necklaces and bracelets. The hole size is 4.8mm and should be able to fit these popular styles. They are completely handcrafted: Bead holes are hand-drilled to the proper dimensions, the sterling silver and stainless steel inserts are flared by hand, the washi paper is applied by hand using the traditional picket-fence method requiring at least 30 miniscule cuts in order to fit onto the bead without distorting the beautiful Japanese Washi patterns, each bead is burnished by hand to smooth out and blend the cuts, and the 8 coats of water-based polyurethane finish are applied by hand with paint brush to protect the bead for heavy wear.
