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 30" long piece of blue 550 cord, giving the bead two 15" tails. I have given the bead a heat patina.
