I drove to the closest Trollbeads retailer in my area today because they were hosting their trunkshow and it was fun! They always have a super friendly staff, my friend volunteers to work there ( and gets paid in beads, lucky girl!), and I walked away with the freyja clasp and a new bracelet.
I would buy the beads, but I am on the bead loyalty program for Trollbeads At The Commons. Plus, TATC doesn't charge tax or shipping, which I love.
I tried on the silver bangle. I liked it alot, but compared to the bracelet retailing for $46, and then you get that for free when you buy a decorative lock, at $133 (plus $40 for two stoppers and of course sales tax) I will wait and at least get the stoppers for free from TATC.
It was nice to finally get a good hands on look at the black onyx fantasy necklace. I like it way more than the pearl one! But that is something else that I will wait for and get as a gift one day, or as a splurge if I ever can afford that.
The new beads were pretty cool. I really liked the Fossil, and the starfish silver was cute, as well as the seahorses silver charm! I am a fan of ocean stuff, so of course I liked most everything from that collection.
