I use these in macrame. The core in the center is made of wood and, with some effort can be removed. This gives the beads a much larger hole that can make room for macrame cords to go through. Beyond their use in my macrame I keep a string of them just to admire as an ornament on their own.

Love these beads. I like to go a little eccentric. I love the larger African beads.
I have ordered several beads from this shop & have had no issues. Will order again & again.
Thank you
