I saw them displayed at an industry trade show 3 or 4 years ago. Very nice look. IIRC the prices were a bit high and I figured another manufacturer/importer would come along with a lower priced knock-off.
Kinda forgot about them. Thanks for the reminder.

Great concept and they look nice, but a bit costly. At $4-5-6 wholesale, I wonder if anyone has a cheaper version?
I'm going to show them to a couple of my jewelry/bead artists and see if we can get a "florist designed" version...
I did not think the price was too bad...the retail version I saw, came in a nice fabric bag, with a real Satin ribbon tie....
Hi...I have seen them advertised, and just today, I decided to try my own version: I took gold wire, formed what looked like a large daisy, starting and stopping in the center, pressed it on to the top of a ginger vase so the sides bent down to hold it in place and voila! A package of wire costs about $6 wholesale, comes in many colors, and it didn't take that much, maybe 12-14" or so. It worked well as a grid and the "petals" show around the vase. For this particular arrangement, I used medium stemmed multi-colored roses and myrtle and added a touch of bear grass. I thought it looked rather nice--if I say so myself!
Cheers!

I have also made them (and took beads from my deceased mom's cache). They are pretty neat and I can make sizes to fit whatever vase I want them on. Really not too hard to make, can make quite a few in an evening.
They do make a statement and crystals on the edges would be better than some of the cheesy beads !!
