So, I picked up my bracelet and beads today, and here are some photos...

I really like the Phoenix bead. I have named him Bob :laugh:

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. :smile1:

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!

Lovely choice of beads and your pictures are wonderful. I agree with you about limiting the number of beads on one's bracelet... I personally like having only a few beads on there. I currently have 9, and I feel that it is getting heavy. Also, I cannot sleep with it on, and I really hate having to take it off every night! I am going to buy myself a couple of stoppers and see how many beads I can wear to bed before it gets cumbersome. :)

A lot of people make the mini-combos of 5-10 beads with stoppers.
I'm the complete opposite; I like my bracelet stuffed to the max. I always take my jewelry off when I get home, so the weight doesn't bother me in my sleep. LOL...

:) If I ended up taking off my jewelry, then I would agree with a fuller bracelet! I just love sleeping with my fave jewelry. I also get cautious about constantly working the lock open and shut several times a day.
I took off half my beads, and already it feels lighter and more comfortable. I am going to try to sleep with them tonight, and see how it works out.
The glass ones are lighter in weight than the silvers, am I correct on this?
Right now I am wearing a crab, a happy fish, a beach, and a conch. I like odd number combos, so I would prefer 5 I think.

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.

Such a gorgeous bracelet! I love it!
