The cord hole has a diameter of approx. 2.8mm. The Raku ceramic cylinders have a copper-colored glaze with greenish spots. The cylinders are all slightly different in color from each other; some are more green and others more copper-colored.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  The Raku ceramic cylinders can be combined with other Raku beads or matt ceramic beads. We recommend leather straps with a diameter of 2 mm as a decorative strap. You can find leather straps in many colors in our shop.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  In order to produce raku, the traditional way of firing ceramics is slightly modified. After the actual firing process, the ceramics are not allowed to cool down slowly in the still hot kiln, but are cooled outside (usually outdoors). For this, the ceramic comes in a container and is packed tightly and airtight with grass, hay, leaves, etc. Raku ceramic is thicker than conventionally fired ceramic so that the ceramic can withstand the change from hot to cold better and store heat better. Various things are happening now as it cools down. On the one hand, the packing material with grass and leaves can leave imprints on the cooling ceramic, and on the other chemical processes ensure that the ceramic changes its glaze color. The carbon created by the smoke is distributed in the typical fine hairline cracks (craquelure) caused by cooling. The raku firing method can only be controlled to a small extent and so all raku ceramics are unique.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  With our raku pendants and beads, the delivered products may differ slightly from the illustration in the item description. The shape and color distribution may vary. Raku products are irregular, with cracks and nicks. This is intentional and not a quality defect.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  The Raku ceramic cylinders are made in the E.U. manufactured.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Please note:\u003cbr\u003e  The ceramic beads may differ slightly in shape and color from the illustration.
