Hi!

I was reading a blog post about an RT trunk show and there was mention of snakeskin beads. Very intriguing! Will these be offered thru the website? I'd love to see them --

thx,
peggy

Hi, Peggy,

These are sea snake skin beads.  The skin, which feels like land snake skin (smooth and glossy), covers a solid lightweight core.  We've been bringing these to our bead trunk shows, and they're in our showroom here in Spokane.  I don't see them in our online store, though.  Can you visit our bead shows?

These beads are really cool, but unloading them at shows creeps me out. I think it has to do with the scaly texture.

Noryan, there's two types of people.

The other type is the folks who have been begging me to get these added to Rings & Things' online store... smile

Are we like the only company that sells these pups?

We have some new shapes now that are large chain looking links covered with the sea snake skin. They are very cool.

I think it is because people really enjoy snakeskin more than myself! Were you feeling left out?  Cheesy
