Nice craftsmanship, but a bit too flashy for my tastes.

I'd like to see the round one tho.

Sal,

Thanks, I like it here very much.

It was intended to be a good natured ribbing because so far I think we are all thinking "WOW!, where can I get those?"

Hopefully the response is sufficient to go forward with it. In my opinion there's a hole in the market for beads etc that aren't skulls, particularly for ones that are of the craftsmanship I see in the pictures.

On another note. I must admit, I'm still pretty amazed that you manage to not only monitor the forums but are even replying to something as trivial as my comment.

Hi Bitbyte,

Sometimes I'm the only one that knows the answer to the question.

Then I'm glad to share my reaction :) Want badly, finally a nice bead thats not a skull. There is defenitly a market for nice design beads.

I'll take 5 please :D

Lol, that must make you one very busy man.



I like the concept, not in love with the execution, but I'm not much of a lanyard/bead person, so my opinion probably isn't one you're after.

It is, however, a very nice departure from the tacticool skull look.

I really like them. The price point would be the deciding factor for me. I'd love to have a spydie bead on all my lanyards, but I'm not willing to spend much on beads.

I really like these beads, but with one caveat: I wish the edges and corners were a little more rounded off. Not super round, but just a little bit. And maybe a slight taper to the top and bottom.

Now that is what I am talking about! When and where can we start buying em?!

Way cool beads. I was by the booth but missed them... :)

I just checked out the website and it looks like these could be very affordable. They have "classic" skull beads with prices ranging from $4.50 for pewter up to $10 for 18K gold plated. Most of their other skull variations are priced about the same, so hopefully Spyderbeads would follow a similar pricing scheme.

Yes please make them :)

If nothing else, with the solid (unplated) pewter/copper/bronze cube beads, the design is centered enough so that you could knock down the corners and edges with a sander/file to shape it to your liking. :)

Saw pictures on the first post, saw a link, and spent a while looking for those beads to purchase. Then I gave up and finally read on and realized they weren't available yet. That's how fast I was ready to buy them. I really hope these will go into production! Simply amazing work!

Those look great!

big yes for me . i want them . greeetzzzz

I would definitely buy a few of these, hopefully with the lanyard. Let us know if/when they would be available to order. Thanks

If they can be made for prices like that then I'm definitely getting some :) I like the variation in colours too - something there for all tastes.

Would they be made available through the SFO or also other dealers? I just ask because international postage on SFO items is usually quite high.
