I absolutely love love love the colors of these - just as pictured. About the prettiest gemstones I've ever seen. I was hoping the drill hole was 1mm, but mine were more like .8, which the listing said would vary a bit from .8 - 1mm. I took a chance purchasing these, but wasn't able to get my 1mm wire through the middle of these at all. I will still use these with smaller beading wire for another project...but wish the holes were closer to the 1mm. These would have been gorgeous with my memory wire bracelets.
