This is a hand machined bead made from 3/4" x 3/4" grade 2 titanium with a grade 5 cap. The cord passes thru the cap and the then thru the body of the bead. This bead is 1 5/8" long including the cap. I have installed a 60" long piece of silver/black diamond pattern 550 cord, giving the bead two 30" tails. I have tied a snake knot below the bead.
