Hia, does anyone know where i can get a shell bead press? NOT like this   http://www.tuffnellglass.com/contents/en-uk/d80.html
I wanted one thats more like a shell that wraps around a bit like an elongated snail shell. My friend is going to a fancy dress party and wanted a shell necklace and i thought that would be lovely..course have prob left it a bit late now unless i can actually come up with one!!!
But she is going as a mermaid and looks beautiful, you know the kinda friends that look beautiful as mermaids? Well i just wanted to try and finish it off a treat for her.
thanks for looking

I don't think there is a press like that, I've always done that style without a press.
