we are not allowed to buy/sell or offer to do so here, but PM me if you would like me to point you in the direction of some other areas that you can do so. The smiley beads are hard to come by and depending on the colors, I have seen them at least from 80-200 USD. I love the idea of using it as a centerpiece though, and especially that it will have such a special meaning to you.
Thank you so much! I dont mind paying until 100 USD for it, more than that I wouldnt, unless it was a gift from DF and he wanted to spend so much on a bead for me, lol , and I dont care much for the color, as the color it has i can start the color scheme around it. though the one that is the most beautiful of all is the grey one IMO (found a picture of it in a google search)

I will send you a pm now. thank you so much for the kindness.
 
Engel, I see what you are saying, I would have loved to have found a smiley bead myself but did not start with trollbeads until about 3 months ago. So like you I want one but missed it. Please do be careful though, do not buy unless absolutely sure the smiley is authentic, a fake even may make its way into a trusted collection by swap.
For a Smiley, I broke down and got the USA world tour bead "Pursuit of Happiness" (silver) which is cute and from my home country. From what I understand there may be some smiley beads still floating around though I hear they are mostly inEurope.

Germany is huge for Trollbeads, I may have read one of the first stores was there, and the special book/German clover bead was released just for that market. :)
what is that bead like? the book/german clover? do you have a picture? and know if it is still available here?

Also, any suggestions as to put an authentic smiley bead appart from a non real one?
 
I was wondering if anyone knew if there were any Trollbead shops online doing a lock/bracelet promo? I would like to get a kickstart on my bracelet, and any way that I can to save a bit of $$$ would be great!
 
The special troll beads book was written in German and had a four-leaf-german-clover silver bead having off the side of it. They did something similar with a tulip and a Dutch book. Interesting. As far as being able to determine a fake bead from a real one, I have no idea. (I can not tell with handbags either so I only purchase from boutiques with everything.) There are many pics on trollbeads gallery forum aside here in the US for retired beads. But not the smiley.
Come to think of it there was a smiley released for Japan-tsunami relief too.

I always call the TB boutique to make sure the lock-bracelet promo before going, I think usually they will do it, as why not make the sale.

I know how it is, im too afraid of ebay, so expensive things i only ourchase at the original store, but in the case of the smiley bead that isnt possible, so I will have to buy it somewhere. *sigh*


also, as the lock takes space as well, how much bigger than our wrist should the bracelet be? I have an 18 cms wrist, and wear a 20 cms pandora

I guess this is the most beautiful trollbeads bracelet i have ever seen!

anyone knows the name of that bead that has many many colors on it? the one next to the red smiley bead.

that is a trollstone. they may be retired now but I can't remember. there were many beautiful variations on it with different designs on top of the colors.

Hmmm. Do you mean a Trollbead only boutique? Can you recommend one that might do that? I don't have any Trollbead boutiques near me. :)
 
I bought my Trollbeads bracelet today, with the lock that has many small flowers

My wrist measures 18 cms, but I bought the 21 cms, the store owner told me its better to have 3 cms bigger, if i wanted to add many glass beads. and that it would fit great after i added many beads... i hope she is right, because now it feels a tidy too big.


And I hope that, before new years, I will habe bought my first bead, a smiley bead. please, all good thoughts in my direction are appretiated, because I really want to win the auction at evilbay!
 
New here! Hello everyone! :)
I've been lurking for a long time here on purse forum, but finally decided to sign up tonight. Ok so I love trollbeads. I've completed a full bracelet for me, and another for my 17 month old daughter and now I'm working on a 3rd. I started collecting Pandora at the first of last this year, and by October I made the switch. :)
