Hey guys,

Just wanted to share a quick behind-the-scenes look at one of the lanyard beads we’ve been working on at Noblie.
This one is a small steampunk skull design, and the video shows part of the process — from the early digital model to some of the hand finishing work. I always enjoy this stage the most, because that’s where the piece starts looking less like an idea and more like something with its own personality.
To me, beads like this are part gear and part small collectible. They’re made to ride on a knife lanyard, keychain, or other EDC setup, but I also like giving them enough detail to stand on their own.
Curious what you guys prefer — simple beads that stay out of the way, or more detailed themed ones with a little more presence?
