This may not be for the right thread, but I'm thinking about getting a Trollbeads bracelet, but I've never seen one IRL. I already have two Pandora snake chain ss and an Essence bracelet and I love them, but I find some Trollbeads charm to be really special. Like the Anemone Pendant and the Unique glass beads.
For those of you ladies who have both, which one do you prefer or reach for the most? Is it worth it to have both? How do they compare? Any useful tips/comments?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Since I liked the beads I thought what the heck, I'll try a Troll bracelet. I love all the varieties and possibilities that are available for Troll bracelets.I've heard that people with Pandora bracelets tend to keep the same beads on a bracelet while owners of Trollbeads are always switching beads around. I've found that to be the case. I have two Pandora bracelets. I never change the beads. I also have two Trollbeads bracelets, but I'm always switching the beads around. And I have more beads than can possibly fit on the bracelets.
I have two different lengths of Trollbeads bracelets. This is because I have several different locks and the locks are varying lengths. Also there's more variation in the size of Troll beads--some large, some small, some tiny--so I can use a longer chain to accommodate big beads.
When buying Troll beads online sometimes it's hard to determine the size of the bead, there is variation, unlike Pandora in which the beads are standardized in size, so it's good to be flexible.
I wear a Trollbead bracelet or a Pandora nearly every day. Both brands get an equal amount of time on my wrist. Hard to say which I like better. Maybe the Pandora would win by a nose, but I do like them both a lot. I've been an enthusiast for a little over four years. I started with Pandora and after a few years tried a Troll bracelet after I bought a few glass beads from Etsy artists who claimed they would fit on Pandora but the holes turned out to be too small.
I will still tinker a bit but I'm happy with the overall concept, I wanted something that wasn't balanced for a change. I'm still not 100% sure about a full bracelet but I will try wearing it on it's own without stacking.
I had to purchase 4 new ones to finish but luckily 3 of them were half price in the sale, 
...............so well chuffed.Thank you Emibella for your ideas and pictures. They've been inspirational and finally after days of obsessively rearranging my bracelet, I have come up with my own mono version.
I also managed to use most of my spare charms.
This is what I came up with, I would love to hear from everyone any fresh ideas? I did try pinky on the side and queen bee in the middle but I found when worn it all was much of a muchness.
Wow, thank you Sue for these detailed explanations, much appreciated!! Makes me want to take the plunge and get a Troll bracelet
If ever you feel like it and have moment, would share some of your Pandora and Troll collection? I would like to see your designs! And also be able to compare the two brands side by side.
Although, if you already have many bracelets, then I can see the appeal of having some simple ones... Not there yet though... How many full bracelets do you have, if I may ask (and maybe see )? And thanks for the link, I'll go check it out for sure!
