Very lovely bracelet, MissyMomToTwo! Can't wait to watch the progression!

Welcome dawnch! Can't wait to see some pics!

Here's a few add'l beads I got for Xmas from DM and DH! I also got a dark blue glass bead & red bead that don't really go with this one:

WOW Vivi!! Your bracelet looks GORGEOUS!! I just LOOOOVE that bead to the right of the lion. :heart: What is that called? Is that one of the precious stone beads? It's hard to tell on my monitor. Is that white or pale pink? Rose quartz maybe? Either wasy, it looks fantastic!!

Thanks! It's sorta spring-y. I'm trying for a more winter-y theme. I picked up silver mountain today:

YES, that is ROSE QUARTZ above. It really does look that clear though, with a very small hint of pale pink. The pic is pretty accurate.
I'm really interested in starting a Pandora bracelet right now too! I've been reading the Pandora thread lately to keep updated :p!

I'm thinking of starting a Troll bracelet. I have a Pandora that's a few beads short of full and I'm just getting bored with the selection.

My question is this: What size should I get? I have a very small wrist and even with my Pandora bracelet almost full, the 7.1 is perfect.

With Troll, do you have to allow for the clasp? Would I get a 6.7" with the hope the clasp brings it to about a 7.1? :confused1:

Hi Coachfanatic...I'm a "Coach fanatic" too ;). I have tiny wrists too and my Pandora is 7.1. Granted I only have 2 beads and 2 clips on it, but it's pretty loose, and I imagine when it is eventually filled up that it will be perfect as well. My troll bracelet is 6.7 with the clasp. I think if you're buying it online, you have to check if their measurement includes the clasp or not. I bought mine at a local boutique so I was able to try them on with the clasp. And the advantage is, as my bead collection grows, they're able to switch out the chain to the next available size. HTH! I :heart: my trollbeads bracelet! You will too!

Thanks for the info!! I found this on the site I was looking at so I guess they add the clasp into the bracelet size?

How do I determine the proper bracelet size
When measuring for bracelets, measure tightly where your wrist is broadest and add 2 cm or about 1 inch. This will allow enough slack to add beads and fill your bracelet.
How does the Trollbeads bracelet work?
The bracelet comes standard with a no clasp. Look through our lsi of clasps and find the one you ike best. Remenber the bracelet length in the catalog include the length of the clasp

I think Troll has the most beautiful glass selection of beads. My current bracelet is silver/gold only. I think for my next bracelet, I'm going to venture into the world of glass. It's my understanding that with Troll, the bracelet lengths are figured in with the length of the clasp. But, I was looking at clasps the other day and realized that some are larger/longer than others. Go figure.

I just ordered 2 new glass beads for my second troll bracelet. Got the Antique Flowers and the Roses. I can't wait to get them.

I ordered a shorter chain for the 2nd one; it's still comfortable but I think I am going to have to make sure that I keep smaller beads on it.

^^Congrats on your new beads Kitsunegrl :smile1:! I am really digging the new Spring beads! Can't wait for Spring! I have a shorter chain for my 1st bracelet, and am thinking of getting a smaller clasp because it's such a small bracelet. ITA about keeping smaller beads on it, so it doesn't get too tight!

Well Vivi - You totally inspired me with your rose quartz bead and the pastel colors, so, I had to throw together a little something - I'm a nutcase! I actually have a BOX of trollbeads! Who does that?!?! A while back I had purchased the little cherubs with my anniversary date on it 10/22 and until now, hadn't found a way to use them. I'll post pics in a bit.

Thank you!! I come from a family with 3 kids and I also have 3 kids, so, I really love that bead as well. 10.22 would have been our 20th wedding anniversary. We didn't quite make it :( I liked that troll had the number 10 in one bead. I had started a thread on the PF last year that was all about how that number was showing up everywhere after my dh passed away. It seemed every time I looked at the clock it was 10:22-Got stuck behind a bus in traffic, bus number 1022 , etc... So, I added it to my bracelet for luck!
