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.

Lol that is true! I think I picked the right size! Thanks for your feedback!

Here is the first bracelet I did a few months ago. I did a Magical Forest because I thought it was cute complete with trolls, fairy, a few forest animals, wine harvest bead for evening hijinks, the mushrooms beads from WT Baltic's and the Black Squirrel (which will be retired soon).

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!

It looks loose enough to me. I am sure your TB dealer would swap it out for you if you need another size though. Love that Fish Lock.

wow, this is beautiful! the black squirrel is one of the only 4 beads that will retire that I want, but I want orange steel and brown desert before it, lol
yours is really beautiful!


My christmas bead arrived today from baden baden, with catalogue, pencil, 2012 organizer, jelly beans... I feel so spoiled!

still waiting on a few more beads, but here's a start. :p the lucky dragon is terribly cute. I keep going back to stare at its heart-shaped snout (and tail... and feet...). d'aww. x3

That dragon is a cutie and an interesting addition for a bead!

World Tour Hong Kong is next up in February 2012 and it makes me wonder if there will be a variation of a dragon for that or what they will come up with for that!

I too would love a bead for the countries I have visited but all of the countries(16!) I have been to were with my ex-H and it may be too painful for me to do. Thus I am doing more just me designs to the bracelets.

the lucky dragon is my fav troll bead ever (along with the smileys, but fav silver one, nonetheless!), and I really want one, but im prioritizing the ones that will retire and LEs for now. You have a great bracelet that, and if this is just the begin, I wonder how it will turn out! wow


and what is this gandling shinny ball next to the lock???

@gelbergirl; I can't wait for the HK beads, and I hear there's a new year's release too (chinese new year, with all 12 zodiac animals, similar style to the LE chinese silvers). exciting! and good job on snagging one of those black squirrels before they retire, such cute concepts.

thanks Engel! you have a good strategy, going after the harder-to-get ones first. ;) I just went after whatever I liked, oops! you're very very lucky to get that smiley, I only hope one day I'll acquire one somehow! and geez, if you START your bracelet with a smiley... I can only wonder what riches you'll gather by the end. ;]

that giant silver ball is from Mosaic, christmas gift from the BF. it actually fits through the loop, but I just like clipping it at the end. it's very, very shiny. @_@

I started because of the smiley, and was watching an auction for one for 5 days, but in the last minutes (20 last) I forgot to watch, as i was making lunch... and I lost it. :(

so by the time the auction ended and I lost, I had already purchased 3 more beads online, and the clover had arrived (the same day the clover arrived i took the plunge and bought a smiley for 80 euros on evilbay)

today I just ordered the orange steel, my fav from the ones that will retire soon, my next on that list is the brown desert.
ps: I sent you a private message

Thank you! I actually visited my nearest Trollbead retailer today, and she took a look at my bracelet and said it should be fine!
I LOVE this lock. The locks are the coolest part of the Trollbead bracelets, IMO!

I actually dont like the locks, i guess the closure is the main reason I still like pandoras more than trollbeads! lol
