Trollbead addiction

Does anyone know of any cheaper build-your-own-bead bracelets? My daughter is very interested in the Trollbeads, but they are pretty pricey. She's only 9 so I don't want to spend that kind of money. We'd both be happy with something similar but cheaper. Thanks!

I'm thinking Brighton, or some of the on-line retailers that sell look-alikes of the more popular.
Hope she has fun!
 
So I've just started to build my troll braclet. The only bead I have so far is the "Milan". I really like it with my pale skin and felt that I really had many options to go with almost any other color. But now, I dont what other beads to get! I can't figure out what goes with it and I really wanted some conhesion. Any suggestions? Does anyone else have the "Milan"?

Doxie,
With regard to Milan, start off by taking a look a the Tuscany Kit. Milan was a part of that group and there are some other colors you can consider.
Otherwise, I would continue to just buy what you like. As a result, you will find that you are gathering colors/patterns you really like and it all comes together. There are no rules with Trollbeads.
You might also want to add tried and true "silvers" next to the Milan to make it really pop. Meaning sun circle, berry, and other design beads.
I have Milan also keep it on a permanent bracelet, on the and with a brown and green bead next to it.
Long answer for one bead huh? Have fun!
 
Thanks everyone, that actually helped me a lot. I really do love "Milan" and it made so much sense to get that bead when I bought it in the store. The clerk showed me all the colors it could go with and I was like "Yes! That one is mine!" LOL then I got home looked at other beads online and I was like "Now what went with this?" :confused1:. But, it's all good now.

One other troll newbie question. What is the glass bead with the smiling mouse-like smile on it? I think it's retired because I don't see it on the trollbead web site. It's just so cute.
 
Doxie-
That is the manga charity bead. The pink one was for a girl's school in Singapore, and the green one was issued for the Japan tsunami.
I believe they are sold out, but sometimes you can find them on the secondary market.
This is mine...

Just convinced hubby to buy me the silver lotus flower for valentines day! Trollbead boutique are also giving the Gustav Klimt the kiss trinket box free with every order, so not bad really for hubby spending £18!
 
Ask him to get you two of the lotus. They're in the lowest price category, anyway. They make beautiful finishes for the ends of bracelets and necklaces. I love my lotus beads. Has anyone purchased the new Rocky Beach Kit? It looks so versatile! Can't wait to get my hands on it.
 
Yes, Pandora beads will fit on a troll bracelet, but not necessarily vice versa. Troll beads do not have the threading inside so they may get stuck on the threaded sections of the Pandora bracelet. Troll does have about 23 beads that could work on Pandora.This is why I bought a Troll....almost every bead out there from different manufacturers will fit.Pandora Dangles Beads allows you to design youyour own style. So choose Pandora Dangles Beads means that you choose different.

You might want to check that as the email I had said free with every order over 150 dollars.

I didn't get an email saying 150 dollars? The site said free with every order when i made my order & i received an email saying they "will ship complete with your special gift from us". Put it this way, if they don't honor what they advertised, i will not be buying from them again. Perhaps they changed it as they had a big demand for the box?
