While I don't have the beads in hand yet, the seller described them as being about 2 inches in diameter.

If the beads are anything like the large dragon pendants, they're pretty lightweight, enameled over thin metal. So not as uncomfortable to wear as, say, stone or glass beads of comparable size.

However, actually wearing humongous beads seems pretty 80s to me, in the show-wealth-and-status-by-piling-it-on end of the costume spectrum.

So I'm considering something in the dust-collector category - tabletop "sculptural" display with wood or acrylic and support rods - so the beads can be enjoyed without having to be worn, and avoid being hidden away in storage. And an acrylic case to keep the dust off.
