Here is a single strand of copper plated glass charlottes from the Czech Republic. Wikipedia correctly states: "Charlottes are seed beads that have a single facet per bead to add sparkle. These are called "the most brilliant of all seed beads".

The strand measures just shy of twenty inches long. The beads are 12/0, so there are about 24 beads per inch, which means the strand has about 480 beads.
