My Trollbead order arrived from Perlen, I love ordering from them! We are definitely robbed in the US when it comes to packaging, my 3 beads came in this tiny offical Trollbeads box that has the raised crest and opens up the same way as the larger bracelet one I got from Steffan's.
so beautiful!!!! great beads
Nooooo (to tumber)....I like my beads oxidized, I think it gives them more dimension and interest. I will use a polishing cloth every once in a while just to keep luster.
A tumber will make them super shiny and cause them to lose detail a lot faster.

These are gorgeous!
Ok so here is my first Trollbead bracelet reveal, done in a beach theme, a few Kathy Perras beads thrown in! There are a couple beads I'd like to swap out but this is using the beads I have so far, and it will be a while before I can buy some more.
The beadznbagz sale was amazing, and they have it at 40% off today! I was wary of them at first because of their past history but I received two orders from them that took a little while (about 10 days) but were complete with everything they said was in stock.

I really like the Phoenix bead. I have named him Bob
Also, I rather like not having the whole bracelet filled up. Does anyone routinely wear theirs with only a few beads on it?
After Kitsunegrl told me that the beads are not marked in any way, I decided to keep a record of which beads I have, the product code and why I bought them, or when I was given them. I have bought a pretty notebook (http://www.paperblanks.com/uk/en/collections/1/filtered?collection_id=249#1773) and printed out pictures of the beads I have and stuck them in the book with notes. I like being able to look back at things like this.
Thank you for all your help with advising me on how to get started with my Trollbeads... I think you may have created a collector!

Very pretty!! And you take gorgeous pictures!!
I think so too! I was thrilled to find the pink one at Perlen becuase I usually only see the green available.
Aw. Thank you!
I am really pleased with my bracelet, I can see that I will have a lot of fun with it. My next bead purchase will be when I reach my next fitness goal. Hopefully in a month or so. I am already pouring over the website trying to decide what to get.
Magrat-
You are so clever to make a bead journal at the very start of your collection (new addiction). I wish I had done so, but I never thought I would be bead crazy! LOL...
You got some lovelies and I think the griffon is awesome! The hydrangea bead was one of my first beads many years ago, and it is still a favorite.

How is a Trollbead addiction officislly disgnosed? Is it number of beads, or hours spent browsing websites looking for bargain beads?
