The barrel beads are much smaller than I thought, which is good since it won't look oversized, (I thought it would have trouble turning the corners of your wrist) but I'm gonna have to see it IRL to be convinced it's worth the extra money.

What a shame that at least some of the barrel beads have been overpolished so you can't see the detail properly. I want to be able to see they are bats.

Sorry was not insulting the new pics. I hadn't seen them when I posted.

Great extra pics. Thanks so much!

Coupla thoughts -

$800.00 for Happy Universe??? Is that even possible???

Do you think this is ALL the new beads? Isn't there always some Glass II's?

Barrel beads and flower pendant £67 in UK.

Thanks for the pictures, great job Sherlock! It is great to see the relative size of the new beads. The barrel is smaller than I had imagined, I rather like the size (but not the price).

$800 for HU?!? That is insane....I will probably never have one, if that is true:(

I saw the beads today. For me the green are to bright much more than the photos we have. The dillo is very funny green very bright. 2 beads look very same.
The cream dillo is good and the other in the set are ok. The silver beads are small for the price and to me the griffin look like a thing on the front of a car bonet and it was small. Best for me is the rose pendant and the dangle beads.
The onyx was ok to.

I would expect it to be UK only. I have seen a pic and it is prettier than I expected.

Sorry but I don't have a copy of the image and can't tell you where to find it. I get the impression that it might be available soon.

I love looking at the new beads, and plan to ask for a "few" of them for my February birthday. Thanks for posting the pics.

Me too and I have a shopping date with my sister on Sunday but she is a picky present shopper so I may not be able to persuade her.

Will there be a Valentine-bracelet special with the new lock and the heart bead?

Would be great for my birthday (How do I tell to my DH?) scratch

by merlesen Wed Jan 25, 2012 6:01 pm

from the pics I've seen so far, that lock is really not for me.. Shocked

by Jackie Wed Jan 25, 2012 6:08 pm

Now that I have seen one of the barrel beads on a bracelet, I am very excited. I am so glad that they are not huge, and in fact, just a new shape. Thanks for the photos!!

The mountain flower is so cute!

I suppose this puts the barrel beads in the new Group 6 beside the coin etc.

I do like the barrel bead now I see it on the chain and it's much easier to gauge it's size. Also like the mountain flower as well

by lkeen Wed Jan 25, 2012 6:24 pm

Wow, Mountain Flower is a must for me! I think I'll pass on the other silvers and concentrate on the glass. Thank you for the extra pictures
