I thought my bracelet was too big at first too, 8" with the clasp...but once you start adding charms, you'll need the extra space. I would only go smaller if you plan to only add a few charms, no more than say 8 or so. I happen to like the bracelets better NOT full, I like being able to see lots of chain. On my slim wrists, the 8" is just a little too big to wear that way, so I plan on getting a second smaller size for when I want to wear less charms.

Well, I'm planning to go slow on my bead collecting ^^

There's a picture of my current bracelet at the top of this page, and I think my bracelet may stay how it is right now until autumn (because I don't really like anything in the spring/summer collection and it's hard to obtain uniques where I am)

Thank you for the advice! When the time comes I'll likely just purchase a new chain, that way I can alternate between a full bracelet and a mini-bracelet
 
So, I have two blue desert beads. My first one had a small spot in the glass which I figured was a flaw so I didn't mind. I ordered a second one and it arrived with the same weird spot! Anyone else finding these weird spots on their blue deserts?

Hi Vannarene - My blue desert has these marks too. Actually, my pink desert does as well. So, nothing to worry about. Very pretty bracelet. The subtle rainbow effect is really cool.
 
...And two more....
This last one is something that I made from PMC. I am working on a few designs and came up with this. I'm still working out some sizing issues. This hole is big enough for pandora.
A lot of the older beads were not marked, even some of the silver or limited editions. I have a snowman purchased straight from Denmark with no markings at all and almost all of my retired glass have no markings. There is also some "defect" to the core of a tiger bead and an old original earth bead I have and also got them straight form the trollbead museum in Denmark. I also have a silver python which the core is ever so slightly larger (not big enough to fit pandora, etc) than the other trollbeads glass I have. Those beads all look authentic, I would not worry.
 
I forgot to post a pic of my most coveted Trollbead creation!
My Skeleton necklace... I have named him, Poe.
