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)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.
what is that bead like? the book/german clover? do you have a picture? and know if it is still available here?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.![]()
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*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.
