Hello Everyone,
I am a fairly new member to posting on here. I’m contemplating getting some trollbeads as a treat. Anyone collect and what do you have? I’m torn between Tiffany Bracelet, more Pandora and trollbeads. I dont own troll or Tiffany at the moment.
 
Hi, Nalasmom! There were a couple of Trollbeads threads on TPF but they're fairly old. Here's one discussing pros and cons of Troll versus Pandora:
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/pandora-versus-trollbeads.720530/

I have both Pandora and Trollbeads. They're different aesthetics, but they're both very nice and I enjoy wearing both.

The nice thing about having at least one Trollbeads chain in your collection is that it opens up the universe of small-core European beads. There are a number of independent glass artists on Etsy who make amazing beads that will only fit on Trollbeads chains. Like Kathy Perras who has designed beads for Troll.

One bead maker I really love is Amanda Bazarow of Redbalifrog in Australia. www.redbalifrog.com. She makes mostly silver beads. They're large-cored and fit on both Pandora and Trollbeads bracelets.

There are also several blogs developed to European-style bead bracelets and which are a great source of news and inspiration:
Endangered Trolls

Martha Nicks Beads: I Like to Play with Beads

BeadThrilled

You can see this is fairly addictive :shocked: and you might want to buy a Tiffany bracelet just to avoid falling down the rabbit hole. I wish that's what I had done.


 
Trollbeads are great. You can get very fancy, colorful or ultra sleek with them. Here is one I put together. The rabbit and foxes are not Troll.
