I have a question.
I am wondering if your jump rings on the small side of the bracelet lay flat after attaching the clasp to them?

I purchased my first Troll bead bracelet on the secondary market that looks genuine from what looks like a reputable seller, but the small jump ring on the end of the bracelet is not laying flat with the big flower lock. Is this a normal occurrence with some of the larger locks? It looks as if the jump ring is just slightly too small for the lock....but if it was any bigger, the beads would not fit on.

yes....see how the link is not sitting straight?


I have returned this bracelet and have kept the lock...but I am wondering if this is an issue with a unauthentic bracelet or if this is an issue with a large lock or if this is just how the brand sits with all locks.


I am new to this brand and have not even figured out the best places to purchase. There are NO local dealers in my area.....

The locks do not always sit flush, weight from the beads usually evens that out. The best place to buy is direct from the manufacturer at Trollbeads.com for guaranteed authenticity.

I have done SO MUCH DAMAGE in the last week. It has taken me a solid year of getting my Pandora completed. I've had it full a few times but found myself selling some charms for ones I saw better fit. Anyway, I had taken quite the hiatus since and had not had any urges UNTIL...

I got an email about two weeks ago from Trollbeads so I took a gander. I had always admired TB but figured they were too expensive and since there's no retailer nearby I didn't think I'd like not being able to see the beads before purchase.

Anyway, they were having a sale, buy a clasp get the chain free so I said "why the heck not??" I got myself the lace lock. I figured I could just keep it plain, wait a week and buy one charm at a time. I wanted to pace myself because with Pandora, I ran myself broke a few times buying too many charms at once lol

I got my bracelet a few days ago, It's gorgeous. The chain and lock itself is just stunning and I almost feel bad for covering it all up with charms lol The moment I put it on I knew it needed beads. Lots of beads! lol Since getting my bracelet, I've managed to buy:

two spacers
Lucky Dragon
Three Monkeys
Rolling Troll
Azure Bubbles
Blue Desert
Maple Syrup Amber

and one more murano which is listed as Rod on ebay but it's listed wrong so I emailed the seller about it. It's actually a translucent light blue with flowers. I can't seem to find it on the website.

I've seen some blue and amber themed bracelets which were just stunning. One silver that I desperately want still is the Trollbead coin. It just has such presence on all the bracelets I've seen it on. I feel like this is gonna have to be it for this bracelet. I don't think it's gonna hold as many as my Pandora can, expecially since Pandora is so uniform and consistent but I know Trollbeads is more artisan and varying.

Once I get some beads in the mail I'll be taking pictures. :graucho:

Ugh, just bought the Trollbeads Troll Coin and Ganesha from Redbalifrog, my first bead from them. I love Redbalifrog but I wish they had more variety! The Ganesha and balinese masks are stunning. I hope Ganesha is as beautiful in person!

This is the problem with ordering online. I purchase online for the instant gratification which never is fulfilled because I have to wait a few days to receive the item so I keep purchasing things online! lol I'm so excited to see everything put together!

I finally got some bead play in. All Trollbeads except for the chestnut (Faerybeads) and the Four Foxes (Eske Storm).

I decided while I was cleaning to include the extras that rarely, if ever get worn or used. I have been hoarding Trollbeads for more than a decade. I just can't seem to part with any.
