Here in Spain they use clear silicone to finish off, perhaps you should try that?

Personally I don't use beading, I cut the bottom off the skirting board and lay the laminate under it. If you need a curved finish that will be visible, as you have on your fireplace, try and get a real wood bead, (not an mdf one with wood effect on it), soak it in water for a while (if its oak use distilled water) then bend it to a curve that is a tighter radius than you need. Let it dry while still bent. When it is released from whatever you use to hold it bent, then it will 'spring back' hopefully to a curve similar to one you need, use silicone or a gap filling adhesive (gripfill or no-more-nails) to stick the bead to the Marble, not to the laminate.
Good luck, this isn't easy.

Some of the specialty or high-end lumber yards will have a flexible trim in several different styles. This will have to be painted. There are a few manufacturors that make one that is atainable. Made of a fiberglass/plastic composite. Can't hurt to check into it. Soaking the wood and bending, like the submiter said, isn't an easy task. Good luck.

Make it so the strip finishes perfectly against the hearth, so start from there and work back.

Just stick it to the laminate as close as you can to the hearth
