As a gift rep by profession I am in a lot of stores throughout my travels. Troll Beads were in many of the stores and so detailed and interesting. Boy, would I like to rep that line. I would often look at the displays but never bought....knowing it was a slippery slope.

Until today....I happened upon a Troll Bead Trunk Show and began my bracelet.

It all started when on particular bead spoke to me and that was it, I was sunk.

Hey, where can I find a Lucky Dragon? Is that Pandora?

Here is my bracelet so far....

I stumbled into a Trunk Show today too! Didn't buy anything but came home with the catalogue so I can go back tomorrow with a plan. They are doing one free Glass 1 bead with the purchase of 3 beads OR a free braclet with the purchase of a lock. Decisions, decisions....

I got one during a trunk show 2 weeks ago, but I am still not sure that I totally love it... I am a real Pandora girl, so it is hard to make the switch or add another brand. Someone mentioned that it only takes one bead to draw you in. The same happened to me, but the bead that struck a chord with me is so simple: the 3 siblings bead. It is one of the beads that fits Pandora, but it isn't as shiny in its patina and looks better on the Troll chain. I also love love love the beige bubble glass bead. It is so neutral and looks so golden-y that I absolutely love it and wish that it was the one that fit on the Pandora bracelet. It would look amazing on a two-tone bracelet. My bracelet it too bare to take a picture and it will be a long while before it is even full-ish because I swear that I am going super-duper slow with this one!

I know how you feel about the Pandora as that is my "go to" jewelry. But today's Troll trunk show got me looking at the same group of beads in a drawer and I have put together a restrained shopping list for tomorrow as the store has a few of the retired beads at non-inflated prices -- so I think I will look at them first and finish off the bracelet I started (a brown/neutral nature theme with some amber). We'll see what happens once I am confronted by too much to choose from!

Hi,

Is the Troll fish clasp retired? I'm creating an all ocean themed bracelet using a troll chain. I have a generic, non-brand name clasp for right now, but I'm thinking the fish would be just perfect. Thanks.

Hi everyone. I am a Trollbead addict as well. I actually started with Pandora but had huge diffculties with the clasp. A friend showed me her Troll fish clasp and I was converted.

I just started my second bracelet. I will take pictures of both later and post them. My first bracelet has blue glass beads and an assortment of sterling charms. many of them Pandora and some Chamilia. It has the fish clasp.

My second bracelet has one bright pink glass bead and several silver ones that I transferred from my full blue bracelet. I need some more glass beads now. This one has the flower clasp. I prefer the "long" clasps.

Speaking of clasps, I got the flower dichroic today for my 2nd bracelet:
(not very matchy, but pretty meaningful to me :heart:)

Hi,

Lovely bracelet Vivi! I love, love, love the dichroic glass from Troll. I just recently purchased the trinity bead and I just adore it. Great to know about the fish clasp. I'm definitely going to be looking for it. Here's the start of my ocean themed bracelet. All the animal beads are from Chamilia and then the center bead is the Troll trinity bead.

The kids took me to another trunk show yesterday and I finished my Aegean Sea bracelet. Note the little Camilla 'handbag' in the 2nd pic.

And I started another bracelet which I call 'Coffee Bean'.

Aren't trunk shows a blast? I recently went to one for Troll and one for Chamilia (FYI, I'm not a bead "purist." Both my bracelets are a total mix of several brands). I love both the Aegean Sea and Coffee Bean bracelet.

I have to admit, I have such a hard time picking glass beads. I love so many of them...but then I find myself not wanting to limit my bracelet to one color scheme. I guess I'll just have to have multiple bracelets in many different hues, eh?

Take care,
Melissa
