Straight Sided Lentil XL

We love the classic lentil shape, but many folks find the indents that occur near the mandrel a challenge when designing jewelry.  The solution to this occurring is to add more glass around the mandrel.  We did this by creating a straight side where the mandrel passes through.  We gave it a nice domed surface so it creates a lentil look with a full round face!  We LOVE this modification!  There are two options, the ORIGINAL thickness that is a bit chunky and has a more pronounced dome, and the SLIM version that has a lower profile dome, making the finished bead a little lighter and thinner.  They measure: Original XLarge: 38mm (1.5") x 18mm Slim XLarge: 38mm (1.5") x 15mm The presses works best with 1/8" mandrel.  If you work primarily with 3/32nd mandrels you can select that modification, which we will provide at no charge. We have provided a video tutorial to support you as you get to know your new tool! How to decide which thickness is best for you... Original: You like chunky beads
