I am trying to find a supplier for gemstones that are flatish. I
think they are called rondelles or abacus or even small (10-20mm)
donuts. Basically the hole is in the center but rather flatish not
round like a bead. Maybe they are also called spacers. I am not sure.
I checked Fire Mountain and Rio but they don’t seem to have much that
fits that description.

I hope I am not being too confusing?

Anyone?

from the narrow side.

Here are some I found http://www.artbeads.com I searched on disc.

If you want something a little more specific, such as material or
size, I make my own beads and stones, perhaps I could help. Contact
me off line if you wish.
