I just got a cord, a friend bought it for me. The store gave me a book that shows different ways to tie the lether cord. But it works for the cotton cord also. I will see if I can take pics and post them.

All of the Mother's Day stories are so sweet!! I took my kids with me to the Pandora store in an attempt to get them to pick out a bead to represent them.....didn't quite turn out like I had expected.

So I got an initial bead for each of their names instead.

"I am a bit frustrated! I am trying to SLOWLY build a blue bracelet. I bought the white agate bead
and blue ribbon murano ane few weeks ago and today I purchased the same 2 beads and they do not match!!! I could see if I bought them online but I bought them both retail. I am aggreviated but I am more embarrassed to have to go back to exchange them and expose how much of a freak I am. :wacko: LOL Do any of you go though this while building a bracelet??? And am I being to picky???

Since the muranos are handmade, they will all be different. If I am trying to match, I always bring the beads I have with me to the store. If they don't have one that approximately matches, they let me exchange the one I have to get two close ones.[/QUOTE]

yes Ive had the same problem several times, I bought 2 purple muranos off the internet recently as I couldnt get a hold of them instore anywhere. The size difference was unbelievable, I was really unhappy with them because although other people may not notice it I knew it was there and how different in size they were. You could tell even when you opened the box!

Happy Mom's day to all. My family got me a Chamilia bead for Mother's day. It's the limited edition heart one with red,pink and clear stones. It's actually one I had mentioned about a month ago. Surprised anyone was listening!! I have it on my Troll/chamilia bracelet. I'm a purist with my Pandora bracelets, only Pandora beads on there, but I bought a Troll because I LOVE their glass and I have the Chamilia RN one because they're the only company that makes one!LOL

Uh oh! Now I just went and looked at the Troll glass, because I have been looking for some Black Murano's, and not thrilled with the Pandora selection. I have mostly Pandora, but am not a purist. How do the Troll beads mix? I think Pandora doesn't fit on their bracelets, but you can put a troll bead on a pandora bracelet?

Thanks guys! I thought I was going to do a pink bracelet but as I purchased more beads I seem to be going in a purple direction. I tried the murano glass beads but I just didn't like them as much as I did the enamel ones.

I love looking at all the jewelry here and getting inspiration!!!

With Mother's Day additions I had to do some reworking. Here is the start of my two tone which I will get different clips for. Can't decide if I should save up for solid gold ones or go with starburst w/gold. I also added the YY dh got me to my black/yellow bracelet but I am not sure if it is fitting. Love the bead though. Thoughts/opinions anyone?

if you look on the troll site, they show 'beads that fit other bracelets'. the regular ones don't because the holes are too narrow. The special beads that are for charity from troll fit all bracelets (like the breast cancer, the haiti beads). I got a troll bracelet specifically to wear my chamilia and troll. the clasps on the trolls are gorgeous and they are always having a promotion where you buy the clasp and get the bracelet free. I'm not affiliated or anything, just trying to help. LOL

I'm saving for the gold clips myself. I bought the gold safety chain by layaway before the huge price increase. At first, I wasn't sure I liked it because it's smaller than the silver and seems more delicate, but I've grown to love it. There are a few gold charms I'd love (gold dice with black diamonds and crown (I can dream).

That is weird that they have charms with different hole sizes! I did see that section, and wondered about it, especially since the one I want isn't included! Thanks for the help.
