Hi Ladies,

I see that a lot of you mix brands of beads on your bracelets. So far, I only have a few Pandora beads but have seen a couple other types that I like.

How do the mixed beads fit together? Are some noticably looser? I've heard that different threading systems can damage your chain - any experience with this? Or can you not really tell at all?

If curious, I'm specifically looking at the third bead in the second row here:

thanks so much and kudos on all the beautiful creations.

WOW! I love so many of the beads on this site... has anyone purchased from them? Do they fit on Pandora and Trollbead? And are the silver??

Ok so I went to a store around the corner that sells Trollbeads. OMG the glass is SOOO pretty... so much prettier in person then in pictures. I have a Pandora bracelet but do really like the glass beads to much. So I think I will just put silver on my Pandora. But I would like to buy a Trollbead bracelet soon. They are SOOOOO pretty!!!

Hi. I am a Pandoraholic and now have joined the ranks of Trollbeads lovers. So far I have the Chat bead, zodiac (sagittarius), winter, faith, hope and charity. Today I bought one of the red Haiti beads and the lucky dragon. I have the big flower clasp on it. I go to a great store in NJ, if anyone needs a place to drool and buy. It's a store that lets you open the drawers and play by yourself, without having to ask to see each bead. I love looking at everyone's bracelets and hope to post a pic of mine soon

My bracelet and most of my beads are Troll. I think Troll are the most detailed and beautiful of all the bead brands. That said, I have recently added two Brighton beads to my bracelet. Their price is definitely right!

Okay, here's the first Trollbead bracelet I have made up from all my newly acquired beads. Since taking the photo I have added a stopper, to keep the beads safe.

I'm working on a new bracelet for spring/summer. It's going to be a flower/ladybug/garden theme. As I've said in earlier posts, I mix all brands of beads, but I just love the glass from troll. Last night, I picked up some blue/beige silver tracebeads from my favorite Trollbead store. I am sooo obsessed with the dichroic glass of troll... I think these beads will look so warm and sunny. I'll post pictures soon.

I love your bracelet!:yahoo:I have the trolltree lock and the mermaid, fairy and tortise and hare beads. And the eye glass bead! I am so fascinated with troll because it is so much more defined than pandora!:graucho:

Ladies, can I please ask what you clean your silver Trollbeads with? How about the ones with gems/stones? I've just received a collection of beads and the silver ones really need a good clean to get rid of the tarnish. Any advice?

I use a silver polishing cloth. My fingers get sore from the rubbing though!

It also works well in a tumbler - same one that is used at some Pandora stores. But take pearls off it goes in a tumbler. I heard the tumbler could ruin pearls.
