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.
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.
I just ordered another one from Trollbead Gallery's Twist category. I'll be curious to see if it has the same.

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....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.
I have this necklace too! Love it!I forgot to post a pic of my most coveted Trollbead creation!
My Skeleton necklace... I have named him, Poe.
