Trollbead addiction

[pandapharm]

Yay! Just spoke to my sister, and she and I have decided to get Trollbeads bracelets together! I am going to buy her the same fish lock and bracelet like mine since her birthday is coming up in March. This will be cool, because she is 3000 miles away, and this will be a nice way to keep in touch. So excited to start a collection with my sis!

aww how cute!! I have the fish lock and I love it. it is so much easier to put on than my swan lock.

Good to know! The swan lock is also quite pretty, but we are Pisceans so we gotta have the fish locks!!

This is awesome! I bought my mother a Pandora bracelet for us to have it together as well.

I have 2 good friends I want to give charm bracelets too, but will let them decide on their birthdays if they want troll or pandora, and for every birthday or christmas i will buy them a new bead

I think that this is a wonderful idea... it makes gift giving fun, simple, and significant!

it does! make sure to post yours and your sis bracelets!

also, have you decided what you want for your first bead? if you liked any of the christma beads, i would hurry, they are limited edition and seem to be selling really fast!

it looks like i will have to get them pandoras, because there arent any trollbeads stores in Brazil, but there are like 5 or 6 pandoras. not where they live, but 3 in places those 2 friends visit often, and there is always ebay, that would be cheapper on the shipping, if they decided to get any for themselves, instead of getting only 2 beads a year from me, lol

Not sure yet! I think we are going to buy our first beads when she flies out here to visit me! So excited!

The book that came with the german clover, and the book (also hard cover) I got as a gift when I bought my bracelet and lock here in Germany.

some pictures of the german clover and my bracelet! It is the first bead that arrived, but I have other 4 beads on their way to me (*tulip and book, *manga bead, *the green LE christmas bead ,that I ordered from trollbeads Baden Baden to get the next years calendar, *and a grey smile bead I bought on ebay)

A really happy and spoilled trollie right now.

Nice German Clover bead Engel!

Looking forward to seeing your other beads when they come.
You've got some special beads! Congrats.
PS: what are the books about? Do they highlight history or production of the beads? just wondering . . .

omg how lovelly! that bead is very pretty, and thank you for sharing the catalog pics with us!

So i got my Trollbead bracelet and lock today! I love it! My only concern is that I hope I got it loose enough to put the beads I want on it... I am not going to completely fill my bracelet, so I think it will work.

Sorry for the low quality pic, I used my cellphone, as it is easier and faster to transfer pics that way!

for what I read so far, there is a bit of history of the brand, and interviews with collectors, what their bracelets mean, how much they like it, and so on. also talks about the inspiration for some beads, it has great pictures also!

Thank you, Im trying to collect mostly special beads, even if doing it slower, and want a very colorful bracelet!

could i see a picture (or pictures) of your trollbeads collection so far, please?

It isnt really a catalogue, one of them is a book (the bead came with it) that was only released in germany, the other tells stories behind some of the beads, and also their meanings, it is cool also!
both are hard cover (i love hard cover books!), and there is another one on my way, with the tulip bead! (the book that the tulip comes with was only released in the netherlands)

I can´t wait for my smiley to arrive, specially, as it was because of the smileys I started my trollbeads bracelet! lol

I think it is loose enough, what is the sizing? mine is 3 cms bigger than my wrist! but the cheappest thing is the chain in the end, 2 beads are more pricey than the chain, lol
so if when it is more full you see it is too large or too small, you can always sell yours and get a new chain, keeping the beads and the lock.

I'm super jealous of your grey smiley Engel! please post pics when you can. that's definitely on my wishlist!

I was recently gifted a bead for christmas, and I was immediately head over heels with these wonderful little bracelets! I've gone all out educating myself about trollbeads and searched high and low for my favorite ones. can't wait for stuff I've ordered to come in, especially the mink bead.

I actually found trollbeads because I am making a trevel themed pandora bracelet and stumbled upon the WT troll beads, and found out it wont fit my pandora! when reading more about it, i read about the find a bead similey event! and NEEDED a smiley.

As I want only one or maximum two trollbeads bracelet, and dont need to become HUGELY adicct, as I already have my pandora addiction (wich i still like more than TB), I will stop at the second TB bracelet, (and im collecting thomas sabo´s charms on the side as well!) or I will have no money left for food! (at least, thats the plan for now!)
