I went to my local boutique today to upgrade to a longer chain (do all stores do this? what do they do with the shorter chain that you bring back? :confused1:), and whilst I was there, I was planning on picking up a glass bead. Unfortunately, DH was waiting for me with our pups outside, and I felt pressured :sad:. SO I came home with just a longer (went from 5.5 to 5.9) chain but no beads. Now I HAVE to order some because I think the bracelet just dangles from my wrist because there aren't enough beads to hold it up!
Does anyone have pics of their wrists with these lovely bracelets on? I'm wondering where my bracelet should fall on my hands...:shrugs:

I only have 3 glass beads and 2 silver beads (one of them is a Pandora), but I'm hoping to get some more for Christmas!

Hi,

I'm new here and wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I'm Melissa and a fan of European bead bracelets. My base bracelet is a troll chain. I'm so very glad that I started with a Troll chain because I've founds some great 10kt gold beads from a local bead store. They are fabulous as spacers and give my bracelet a mixed metal look. My charms are from just about every brand. I have some charms from Biagi, Nagara and Chamilia. I have my eye on a few Pandoras and Trolls too. My bracelet is truly a "hybrid":yes:, but that's why I love these bracelets.

Hi,

Here's my bracelet and as I said earlier, it really is a mixture of many different components. The chain is a troll chain and the clasp is actually from Brighton. I'd like to upgrade to a troll clasp eventually, but I do love the design of this clasp. My beads are a mixture of Biagi, Nagara, and Chamillia. The gold beads are 10kt beads that I purchased at a local bead supply store. I've found there are some regular jewelry supplies listed as "large hole beads" that will fit on Troll chains, but not any of the others. I'm hoping to add Pandora's Chinese symbol for Happiness and Chamilia's camera bead soon. Then, who knows? Maybe another bracelet with glass.

Hi, another newbie here, who was very pleased to find a thread with so many like minded folk. I currently have 2 bracelets and 1 necklace. Most of my stuff has been sourced 2nd hand, with some great bargains, although got a few new bits for Christmas, and as leaving gifts from work. I've got the spring and the blue/green glass kit. I have been interchanging with various other 'cheapie' glass beads, but am looking for a really good glass artist to get some really individual beads from, currently searching through etsy. Anyone got someone they would recommend.
Will try and post pics when I work out how on this forum.
