beads
Tiny pierced spheres
Beads are small decorative objects, usually spherical with a hole through the center for stringing.
They're made from glass, wood, stone, plastic, or other materials and used in jewelry, crafts, and ornamentation: a string of beads, prayer beads.
Small droplets may be called beads: Beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
To draw a bead on something is to take aim at it.
