Hola, gente.
¿Cómo se llama este accesorio en español?

bobeche
Explanation:
I think there's no word for that in Spanish. Have a look at this quote from a catalog on the web:
Artículos Adicionales. Prismas, el comenzar en $16.50. Bobeche, $27.50. Piezas Externas. Inacabado, Acabado

Gracias, Débora
Decidí usar “bobeche” porque esta palabra se usa en francés, inglés y portugués con el mismo significado.
El DRAE registra como 4a acepción de “arandela” un significado equivalente a “bobeche”, pero me parece inconveniente usarlo porque el significado más conocido y largamente establecido de “arandela” es otro.

AGRADECIDO,
Manuel
