I decided to use my "Jelly Belly" jelly bean machine for marble display too a little while back. They have always been a favorite around here with their 50 original flavors for years. Found mine at an antique mall for only a few bucks. You should try some, Joep! I'm sure you could find them online 😊

I had a big "Jelly Belly" broke the glass trying to fill it with shooter, being a bit over zealous cost me. Nice display William :) (popcorn flavor's my favorite)

What are those called? I use washers, these look like they’d be much better.

They are called "finishing washers" and you can find them in various sizes, usually with a nickel or brass finish. You may also see plastic ones called "conical washers". I like white nylon o-rings, myself.

Just had to agree with your jelly belly comment. Haven't met a jelly bean better than Jelly Belly. My machine doesn't work very well for the beans so maybe I should replace the beans with marbles. 👍

They called bead rings here in the Netherlands

Kraalring    is the dutch word for it

I used to collect Marilyn Monroe years ago, anything from books to porcelain dolls. Still have a few of the dolls in their boxes. What started that was my mother's remarkable resemblance to "Norma Jean" when she was in her 20's

Mine are mostly on solitaire boards or jars, although the cabinet is a bit overcrowded now!!

That is a beautiful display - overcrowded or not!

It looks like you have some very large handmade marbles. How big is the largest one?
