Date: 04/19/2008
These are the four shell designs I create. (L to R) The scallop shell, conch, sea star and sea biscuit. I no longer make the shell beads in a "medium size, they keep turning out larger, so I am sticking to the one size that seems to be the favorite with everyone....and me! I also make "XXL" beads in the scallop, conch and sea biscuit. These make really nice focals and run $30 to $35 each. Please email me for current inventory.

What size are the shell beads? ~ Click on pic for more info.Shell bead sizes
Date: 04/19/2008
I thought this would be a good visual on the size of the beads. Please understand that these are individually hand made and sizes vary slightly. The sea biscuit and scallop begin from a lentil shape form a press, so there are more consistent. Prices are $14 each for the med. and $16 each for the large. I occasionally make "XXL" beads (approx 1.25 to 2 in) in the scallop, conch and sea biscuit. These make really nice focals and start at $32 and go up. Please email me for current inventory.
