At the time, we loved everything about the design, but with an eye to the future of begleri as a skill toy and EDC item, we opted to go forward with larger beads and a range of other designs with features we knew players would appreciate as the game developed. As our product range has grown to include dozens of shapes and styles of begleri, we decided it was time to bring back this Aroundsquare original.

Those two sets were my own personal favourites, and I approached our friend and longtime community member Mitch @musclebones to see what he thought, knowing that he also favoured those two designs. He was as enthusiastic as I was about the idea, and I was fortunate to benefit from his input and feedback as I nailed down the design specs, and ran through prototype testing. The initial question that launched this project will ultimately be decided by the community, but they've got a permanent place in my own daily gear check. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew to begleri?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCheck out Aroundsquare's AO2 Crew demonstrating what this toy's all about, via the talented guys at Kuma Films (below).

The delrin and stainless steel Mini Hydras have been one of our most popular sets since their introduction, but as player preferences continue to trend lighter, we've decided to offer these up in a new combo of delrin and titanium. This brings the end weight down to around 6.5g and the full set weight down to around 13.3g including cord. These will be the first sets to ship with our new 7g kevlar cord. The mixing of the light delrin with the heavier titanium material allows for players to change the weight distribution of their set to suit their preference for top-heavy play (which makes the beads more nimble, and makes the set play \"lighter), or bottom heavy play (which makes the set feel more stable, and swing with more momentum). The titanium\/ delrin sets come in six colours of delrin, and feature an AROUNDSQUARE wordmark, laser etched on one of the titanium beads. The sets are available in six different single colour packs (2 delrin, 2 titanium), and a mixed pack of eight beads (2 titanium, and 6 delrin--one of each colour). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.5g per end, with a two-stack setup\/ four bead set, coming to roughly ~13.3g all in with cord.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in six colours (4-bead set), or an 8 bead multipack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14mm diameter, with a thickness of 7mm per bead\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaser etched AROUNDSQUARE wordmark on one of the titanium beads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe Hydras are extremely playable, and despite their cylindrical shape, are surprisingly nimble.

The Commons design is our take on this classic shape, and the result is both fresh and familiar.

The beads feature a 3.5mm \"Goldilocks\" bore, making them suitable for play with either 275 or 550 paracord, and the generously rounded bore makes it relatively easy to thread 550. However, where these beads really thrive is on thinner cord, much like the common Greek beads on which they are based.

The manges (and their predecessors, the koutsavakides) were prevalent in parts of Greece from the late 1800s to the mid 1900s. If you delve deep enough into the history of begleri and komboloi, you’ll no doubt encounter the manges (singular, mangas), and their beloved rebetiko music. The manges were known as a group to stay away from. They would most likely leave you alone, but they were folks you should nonetheless take very seriously. They were a tough bunch; they were wrapped up in all sorts of mischief, while at the same time being celebrated as folk heroes in song and story. Despite associations with crime and violence, the manges were also known for a distinctive sense of integrity, as well as their stability, and reliability. While there are associations with criminal activity, the manges also worked as bouncers in gambling establishments, and were even hired for protection during political rallies and other large public events. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy this name for these beads?

The beads are tough, solid, and reliable—inherently possessing a kind of integrity of their own. They’re not afraid to be seen and heard. They move well, and are up to any challenge, but they’re not to be trifled with.

For this version, we've gone to the very lower end of the recomended weight range, at around 11g for the full set, including cord. The feel is comfortable in the hand, and their light weight, combined with the stacked bead arrangement help to reduce impact on the knuckles, for a quick, and enjoyable slinging experience. For these begleri, we've paired the Ultem Mílos with matching titanium beads. This provides a lovely weight distribution that plays well even at such a light weight, and excels on our custom 2mm kevlar cord. Other pairings with brass or copper may be available in the future, but for now, the titanium is hitting a sweet spot over here. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Ultem Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eUltem is the branded name for a high-performance polymer also known as polyetherimide, or PEI. It's solidly in the category of what we might call badass plastics. These are materials that demonstrate exceptional properties, which truly set them apart from conventional polymers. Ultem has actually been around since the 1980s, but has only recently become widely commercially avaiable, and has subsequently exploded into the EDC scene. You'll see it in everything from knife handles to flashlights and everything in between. Part of what makes Ultem special is that when it sets and solidifies, the polymers bond in a way that prevents re-melting, even under extreme heat. This gives the material excellent thermal properties. It's also UV, chemical, and flame resistant, and due to its hardness, it can be machined very precisely, and much thinner than other plastics. Strictly speaking, none of these properties are required for a set of beads, but as with titanium on kevlar, there's just something awesome in knowing that what you have in your hand is exceptional.. that you could, if you wanted, use it for aerospace applications. The material has a crisp and solid feel in the hand. The polished versions have a glossy texture, similar to acrylic, while the machined finished versions have a soft feel, almsot like sea glass. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTo most collectors and EDC enthusiasts, the most distinctive feature of Ultem might be its appearance. It is truly something to behold. In its natural state, the material is clear or semi-transparent, with a deep golden yellow or amber colour. In fact, it looks and feels remarkably like an amber resin, and there is an interesting connection there that is worth elaborating. Amber is one of the traditionally prized materials used for komboloi and worry beads, throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East. And while we often think of traditional materials as being those that are naturally occurring, this is not entirely the case with worry beads. Amber itself is often stabilized with synthetic resins, but beyond this, readers of bead history will also see frequent reference to exotic sounding materials like Faturan, Bakelite, Parkesine, and Catalin. These are all polymer plastics - prized by antique collectors, and still used today in modern production. This historical context helps to legitimize a higher end polymer like Ultem in our product range, and in some ways, it's kind of symbolic of our journey. One of this things Aroundsquare has done well as a brand over the years is to respect and build on the historical roots of the products we create, and extend them into the modern era. We always seek to recognize and honour these roots, while bringing out contemporary designs using the best available modern materials. And having said all of that, here's this month's Ultem lineup.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x Ultem + 2 Titanium 12mm Mílos \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e~12g all in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Titanium Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith all of our other bead options, it's hard to imagine anything minimalist carving out a new space for itself between our Sigma begleri, our Hydras, our many spherical Boss beads, and the rest of our range.

All of our designs were benchmarked against the Titans. The full-sized Modern Standards were designed with that heavier weight in mind, and were made “hardcore compatible” for anyone wanting to use our micro bead inserts for even more weight. The Mini Standards, for their part, were designed with thickened walls and a smaller recess at the base in order to maximize weight in the small form factor. Over the years, however, preferences in the community have trended towards lighter designs. Experienced players in particular have tended to gravitate towards lighter beads, especially in the smaller sized packages. Now eight years after the introduction of the originals, we've decided it was time to revisit the Mini Standards and give that lineup some love. We've kept the same reliable exterior design, with its trusty 1:1 aspect ratio, comfortable rounding, and the straight edges for supreme control. But this time, we've emptied out the interior for a spacious bore that dramatically reduces the overall weight and lets you fully tuck away your knots for a clean finish. These new Mini Standards are easy to carry, they look great, and they're a treat to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4mm rounded bore for use with 4mm or 550 paracord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull bottom recess for knot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBead weights: 6.2g per bead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eLegacy Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the introduction of the 2024 Mini Standards, Aroundsquare's previous (original) Mini Standard design is being moved over and re-dubbed the Legacy Edition.

If you delve deep enough into the history of begleri and komboloi, you’ll no doubt encounter the manges (singular, mangas), and their beloved rebetiko music. The manges were known as a group to stay away from. They would most likely leave you alone, but they were folks you should nonetheless take very seriously. They were a tough bunch; they were wrapped up in all sorts of mischief, while at the same time being celebrated as folk heroes in song and story. Despite associations with crime and violence, the manges were also known for a distinctive sense of integrity, as well as their stability, and reliability. While there are associations with criminal activity, the manges also worked as bouncers in gambling establishments, and were even hired for protection during political rallies and other large public events. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy this name for these beads? Given the connection between the manges and the history of begleri, the name has been awaiting bead design for a long time. But more than that, certain aspects of the Mangas begleri indeed connect with the fabled traits of the manges themselves. The beads are tough, solid, and reliable—inherently possessing a kind of integrity of their own. They’re not afraid to be seen and heard. They move well, and are up to any challenge, but they’re not to be trifled with. With their solid feel and bottom heavy weighting, the beads will treat you with respect, but demand your respect in return.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreen Sandalwood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe green sandalwood has pronounced grain patterns and colour variation.

At the time, we loved everything about the design, but with an eye to the future of begleri as a skill toy and EDC item, we opted to go forward with larger beads and a range of other designs with features we knew players would appreciate as the game developed. As our product range has grown to include dozens of shapes and styles of begleri, we decided it was time to bring back this Aroundsquare original.

The manges (and their predecessors, the koutsavakides) were prevalent in parts of Greece from the late 1800s to the mid 1900s. If you delve deep enough into the history of begleri and komboloi, you’ll no doubt encounter the manges (singular, mangas), and their beloved rebetiko music. The manges were known as a group to stay away from. They would most likely leave you alone, but they were folks you should nonetheless take very seriously. They were a tough bunch; they were wrapped up in all sorts of mischief, while at the same time being celebrated as folk heroes in song and story. Despite associations with crime and violence, the manges were also known for a distinctive sense of integrity, as well as their stability, and reliability. While there are associations with criminal activity, the manges also worked as bouncers in gambling establishments, and were even hired for protection during political rallies and other large public events. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy this name for these beads? Given the connection between the manges and the history of begleri, the name has been awaiting bead design for a long time. But more than that, certain aspects of the Mangas begleri indeed connect with the fabled traits of the manges themselves. The beads are tough, solid, and reliable—inherently possessing a kind of integrity of their own. They’re not afraid to be seen and heard. They move well, and are up to any challenge, but they’re not to be trifled with. With their solid feel and bottom heavy weighting, the beads will treat you with respect, but demand your respect in return.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcrylic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIn terms of durability, the acrylic material is surprisingly robust.

It's also UV, chemical, and flame resistant, and due to its hardness, it can be machined very precisely, and much thinner than other plastics. Strictly speaking, none of these properties are required for a set of beads, but as with titanium on kevlar, there's just something awesome in knowing that what you have in your hand is exceptional.. that you could, if you wanted, use it for aerospace applications. The material has a crisp and solid feel in the hand.

These beads are slightly heavier than the other versions of the large Mangas, giving just a little extra momentum during play, and helping performance on 550 paracord if you choose to go that route. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: ~14.7g\/set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: black, white, yellow, red, blue and green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE\u003c\/strong\u003e: For \"\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCustom\" colour\u003c\/span\u003e combinations, select \"custom\" in the dropdown, and be sure to use traditional click through checkout so you can include a note about your colour choices for the Delrin Large Mangas.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that items included in the package (strings, stickers, patches, bags etc.) vary in colour and quantity depending on availability. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCheck out our new sandblasted ultems in our September 2025 drop video!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PHLdOMuyvlI?si=0cI0ffzIcbUFYltk\u0026amp;start=679\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew to begleri?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCheck out Aroundsquare's AO2 Crew demonstrating what this toy's all about, via the talented guys at Kuma Films (below).

All of our designs were benchmarked against the Titans. The full-sized Modern Standards were designed with that heavier weight in mind, and were made “hardcore compatible” for anyone wanting to use our micro bead inserts for even more weight. The Mini Standards, for their part, were designed with thickened walls and a smaller recess at the base in order to maximize weight in the small form factor. Over the years, however, preferences in the community have trended towards lighter designs. Experienced players in particular have tended to gravitate towards lighter beads, especially in the smaller sized packages. Now eight years after the introduction of the originals, we've decided it was time to revisit the Mini Standards and give that lineup some love. We've kept the same reliable exterior design, with its trusty 1:1 aspect ratio, comfortable rounding, and the straight edges for supreme control. But this time, we've emptied out the interior for a spacious bore that dramatically reduces the overall weight and lets you fully tuck away your knots for a clean finish. These new Mini Standards are easy to carry, they look great, and they're a treat to play. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4mm rounded bore for use with 4mm or 550 paracord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull bottom recess for knot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBead weights:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper: 11.2g per bead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass: 10.4g per bead\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless: 10g per bead\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eLegacy Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the introduction of the 2024 Mini Standards, Aroundsquare's previous (original) Mini Standard design is being moved over and re-dubbed the Legacy Edition.

This series is a contemporary adaptation of the original timeless design, with a slightly refined shape, precision machined and polished to perfection. They feature the same 1:1 aspect ratio favoured by most players, and a compact form factor that is small enough to slip easily past the string instead of binding, and sufficiently rounded for comfortable play.

The design was thoroughly considered and became a favourite due to its comfortable shape, rounding, control, and countless minor details. While the original titanium Titans were sized 19mm x 19mm, the aluminum version was up-sized to 20mm x 20mm at the time, in order to give them a little more weight to satisfy player preferences at the time. Over time, preferences for weight have come down gradually, as players have grown to appreciate the nimbleness and responsiveness of slightly smaller and lighter beads. This new version of our classic Titan AL Sports, the solid aluminum edition, has been updated to reflect current tastes, with a new 19mm x 19mm size, identical to the original titanium model. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new 19mm x 19mm size Aluminum Titans feels perfect for the current era of begleri play. They're smaller, lighter, and more nimble than any of their predecessors. The dimensions will feel super familiar to anyone who has logged hours on the OG Titans, but the new weight is very responsive, fun, and satisfying, without compromising anything in terms of performance. These beauties weigh in at just over 10g per bead, putting them right in the sweet spot for most players' preferred weight. The rounding and finishing is perfect, with a smooth polish topped by a lovely anodized layer which slightly hardens the relatively soft aluminum material. Note that these will definitely get dinged and scuffed over time, often taking on a hammered appearance.

These beads are designed to fit inside any “Hardcore Compatible” set, such as the Modern Standards, the Everyman (hardcore models), and Hardcore Titans. Unlike the Micro Standards, however, the Hercs do not fit entirely inside of the hardcore beads. The flanged portion extends out, roughly to the edge of the outer beads, and the bottom portion of the bead extends down further. This results in a bottom-heavy weight distribution which helps carry momentum even when the overall set weight is quite low. The design of the bottom portion of the beads may look a little bit strange, but it is intentional, giving good grip and control on the bottom portion of the bead, without extending the bead diameter too far. This maximizes the nimbleness of the bead in the fingers, which is advantageous for gap tricks and bead rolls. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eHowever, while the Hercs can fit inside an outer shell, the they don't need to. In fact, the Hercs were the first of our Hardcore beads which were designed to play on their own without an outer shell. The twist with the Hercs is the addition of optional rings, which allow for customization of weight and appearance, reducing \"clack\" during play, and cushioning the impact of the beads on the knuckles (or the floor, as the case may be). The the silicone bands are wide and grippy in texture, thanks to the embossed \"aroundsquare\" word mark around the exterior. Unlike full silicone beads, the lack of a grippy texture at the top of the bead means that there is very little adjustment required in play style. You gain the advantages of excellent bead control on the sides of the beads, without being slowed down by grip at the top of the bead. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE: \u003c\/strong\u003eEach set of Herc cores is packaged with four randomly selected silicone bands.

Besides the Herc Cores, they work well with Newton Cores and End Caps as well. The Silicone Bands add colour options to these beads, as well as providing a little bit of extra grip and helping to dampen the clacking sound of the beads during play. Unlike a full silicone bead, the bands provide grip where you want it (on the sides) while still keeping the top of the bead low friction so that it doesn't slow the beads down during play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silicone bands are approximately 5mm in width and 2mm in thickness, making them roughly the same size as the original metal Herc Rings.

The material is forged into billets from folded layers of different grades of titanium, then precision machined to our specifications, polished up beautifully, and then torched, which oxidizes the outer surface to create gorgeous violet and blue colours. The slight differences in the different grades of titanium affect the oxidization process very slightly, which subtly affects the colours to reveal the organic grain patterns of the material itself. This also means that your set will be unique to you, as no two sets are exactly the same.
