Suggest an aesthetically pleasing bell! Smaller the better.

I currently have a 'BBB' branded bell, and as good as it is, it looks like some kind of wart sat on top of the bars of my lovely stealthy Tricross. Even on an angle, it bugs me.
I want a nice discreet low profile bell - like a secret bell, that mounts in a bar end cap or something. Any suggestions? Surely there must be a market for us dummies who are more obsessed with making our bikes look nice than them actually being practical for city riding??
I'm not much of a shouter, unlike some other commuters, so I've ruled out that option.

I believe this is the bell you're looking for:

I discovered the other day that the bell I bought from Alpine Bikes doesn't work in the rain!

More than half the stuff I've bought from them hasn't been any good:
Shimano shoes - good
Endura Merino socks - good
Gore Cycling mitts - good
Endura overshoes - fell to bits in 200 miles
Endura Meryl Shorts - legs were different sizes
Alpine saddle bag - snagged my Assos shorts
Bondrager Hard-Case tyres - got flats
Bell - as above, doesn't work when wet (just goes "clack")
I don't know who their buyer is but they should be sacked.ROAD < Scott Foil HMX Di2, Volagi Liscio Di2, Jamis Renegade Elite Di2, Cube Reaction Race > ROUGH0 -
Thanks for the responses. I thought you might have cracked it with the titanium bell, until I a) saw the price b) read this review...this nicely sculpted piece of titanium and plastic, which could in no way described as a bell, just makes a quiet thonk noise that no pedestrian could ever hear and if they could they'd be confused as to what that weird noise was. You'd be better off saying "excuse me" in your normal speaking voice.
Looks like I'll go with the Disney one 0 -

It's pretty expensive but I like this one:
