rondelle

Small decorative bead

A rondelle is a small disk or ring-shaped object.

In jewelry, it refers to a flat, circular bead with a hole through the center, often used as spacers between other beads.

In cooking, rondelle describes vegetables cut into round, coin-shaped slices: Cut the carrots into rondelles about a quarter inch thick.

The term also appears in hardware contexts for circular washers or spacers.
