Cone Coiled - 6.5mm - Bright Brass (10)

These look like coiled springs - and - they are. Not even soldered - they could be pulled open if you wanted to. Which makes them pretty flexible about the beads that they fit next to.

Metal components from a vintage warehouse sale - these were probably produced as custom items for a well-known fashion jewelry house, and these would be end of line when production changed. Lot of creative possibilities here!

11mm x 6.5mm Inside diameter (ID) is 9 mm. By the pack of 10.
