This Ohm Beads blog alerts readers to the launch of the limited edition Ohm Beads Sol, US exclusive for the upcoming solar eclipse. It also includes details of how you could still be lucky enough to acquire the bead.
Today sees the launch of the Ohm Beads Sol. For the benefit of those who missed the furore surrounding this design, it’s a limited edition glass exclusive to the US market. Sol is bright yellow with a really interesting sun-ray style design visible from the side. It was restricted to just one hundred and eleven pieces (111) and is in celebration of the upcoming solar eclipse.

Needless to say with so few beads made, retailers exhausted their supplies rather quickly but there is still an opportunity to acquire one of the beads. Ohm Bead themselves have retained twenty one of these coveted glass beads. They will be raffling the opportunity to purchase one directly via the Ohm Stuff Facebook page. One bead will be offered everyday for twenty one days. The purchase price is $55 and shipping is $5 domestic or $15 internationally. Each day one person will be chosen at random.
The first lottery will begin at 5:55am (PST) today (August the 1st.) That’s 8:55am EST, 2:55pm CET or 1:55pm BST.
If you still aren’t lucky enough to acquire the bead, do remember that the limited edition Ohm Beads Lemon launches tomorrow. I have no idea if the colour is identical but it definitely looks close and although Lemon’s surface is pitted, I suspect it’s going to be a little less obvious than with Strawberry due to the brightness of shade.
