About a half inch long, these are some of my faves when it comes to adding texture and verve to a vintage style beaded design. You can't just have incredible beads for a great design----you gotta have the caps, too, in my opinion---great caps, ones that say something, that have design and detail. There are 12 in each package, they're hard for find. Brass based plated in our very, very special soft silverware silverplated finish.
