Victoria does a great job on the newer ones when she gets them, and even Ohm has started adding more shots to their website, but with the older ones it's still so hard to figure out the size compared to other beads. I know the T Rex skull is HUGE and you can sort of tell that from the price and pictures, but the UFO bead doesn't look that small in their picture when it's all by itself, but looks kind of tiny when put into a combination. Even the Love Hurts bead was smaller than I expected it to be (which is fine, I'm happier that it's smaller than it looked in the stock photo! :))Tracyhttp://www.blackbootslonglegs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835147532569240962.post-54195055337862601392014-07-17T19:56:16.020+01:002014-07-17T19:56:16.020+01:00Thank you!

I think I've gravitated towards orange and green mixes recently so I guess it makes sense why I was so attracted to an orange and green unique ;)Marshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07211092166880573199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835147532569240962.post-46331289570326888722014-07-17T19:52:40.859+01:002014-07-17T19:52:40.859+01:00I love uniques :)
I also love Ohm's boldness ...I love uniques :)<br /><br />I also love Ohm's boldness too, great way to run a charm brand and I love that they take risks, my love hurts bead from them is such an amazing bead!<br /><br />I think we need an Ohm blogger ;) Marshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07211092166880573199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835147532569240962.post-13733284560673030752014-07-16T20:04:24.007+01:002014-07-16T20:04:24.007+01:00Your new bead is gorgeous and it really does go so...Your new bead is gorgeous and it really does go so well with your existing bracelet.

I'm happy that they are starting to come back with more interesting designs like your featured one! I really like the crisp colours in it.<br /><br />The brand that I'm coveting most right now is Ohm Beads. Not all of their designs appeal to me personally, but I love that they take risks and come up with things that are unique. Maybe I see them as the "unique" silvers to match the "unique" glass from Troll beads? I just wish that I could find more non-stock pictures online to get a better sense of the beads since I don't have a local Ohm retailer. I've always been able to find pictures of Trollbeads beads online to help me determine what a bead is really like so I'm more confident in ordering those without seeing them in person.
