Hi All,

I could use a little help with building my ocean themed bracelet. I love all the beads I currently have. My favorite bead is the Troll trinity one and it's my center bead. I finally added the two muranos which are also troll. They are gorgeous in person and have this blue/green feel and bubbles that totally remind me of water. My issue is that they are such a pop of color they over shadow the center bead. I want to bring more color to the middle, but the trinity is too small and looks weird between muranos. I'm thinking of getting another sand dollar bead to put on the other side of the trinity and then putting some blue green beads on each side of the sand dollars. Maybe some spacers with green and blue cz's.
I'm open to suggestions. What would you recommend to get some deeper blues and greens around the trinity? Thanks!!!

If it were me -

I would add another trinity bead in the center with your favorite silver bead in between them, for me it would be the whale. The muranos would then be moved to the outside two thirds of the bracelet. They would be the color on the sides/back of your wrist and the trinity beads would take center stage.

Again, if it were me.:D

Did you try moving the muranos over just one bead closer to the center on each side? Sometimes it's a little move like that that ends up making a HUGE difference. You could end up maybe getting a couple of pandora spacers too (I think they're also called trinity?), in either the blue or green and putting them next to the beads that sit on either side of the troll trinity bead.

I LOVE your bracelet, btw. The colors of the troll beads are just gorgeous.

Once I started taking the pictures I remembered 5 different ways I've worn it. It's so versatile that I'll definitely buy a 2nd. I could see wearing one long and the other one looped around my neck as I've shown in the 2nd picture.

I've tied a knot at the bottom of the lariat and also behind my neck:

Here I've passed the ends through the loop and then tied a knot around the loop with the ends:

Thank you for posting all of these different ways to wear the lariat. I couldn't picture it from the Pandora sites. I might be needing one of these very soon:smile1:

MissyMomToTwo I am loving the way your bracelet is looking! Have you looked at the Trollbeads lately? I was browsing there the other day and really really want the jellyfish and the seals! I love the jellyfish because of its length and detail. Even though I don't have a theme for my Troll bracelet, I think I am going to get the jellyfish just because it is cool!

Hi,
When beads become retired, do Pandora give us a 'warning' which beads are not going to be continued? I've got a few that I love but haven't got the $$$ to buy yet. Some are retired in the US so I'm worried they will become retired here soon too.
Thanks

Thanks ponygirl.me I've been thinking about getting one of these but wasn't sure what it would look like/how I would wear it. Brilliant. Thanks :)

She listed tons. All I got was the SS safety chain for my daughter. She had quite a few on there from my wishlist, darn
On a brighter note, a jeweler at the Jersey shore had the retired dangle with the yellow Cz so I snapped that one up

No I missed today but, I got the ones I bought from earlier in the week. I didn't know I would have to sign and was at Disneyland yesterday so I picked them up at the post office today. I have finished one bracelet and have to get serious about the second one. :yahoo:

I was hoping to get a two-tone heart safety chain for my daughter. It looks like she had 2 of them. Oh well, maybe next time .

Congrats on getting another retired charm! :woohoo:.
