Paola Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I am now filling up my second Troll bead bracelet It does not help that a shop in town has started to sell them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I've read bits of this but not all of it so apologies if the question has already been asked but how do you decide on the length of chain? Is it wrist measurement + x cm to allow for size of beads? If so what is x? I think they are lovely and want to get my grandaughters one each but the genuine ones are so expensive, I think I will start off with something cheaper from ebay. Less of a problem if they lose them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I found the wrist measurement thing not that good, try to go to a shop if possible as i did with my 2nd bracelet lol also the shops are doing that offer of £88 too and the shop i went to in Broadstairs swapped one of the beads as i didn't like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I've read bits of this but not all of it so apologies if the question has already been asked but how do you decide on the length of chain?

I think they are lovely and want to get my grandaughters one each but the genuine ones are so expensive, I think I will start off with something cheaper from ebay. Less of a problem if they lose them. I think it is wrist measurement plus 1 cm? - I did read it, on a Trollbead site I think. I bought a cheaper one from Ebay for my granddaughter to wear but I've also bought her one to keep and will need to buy a bead for her moving up to secondary school soon. Can't think what to get for that though. Both Ebay sellers I've used will make the bracelets to fit - and will give advice on the 'plus x' bit.

Guest Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I've joined the club, Mum bought me a (fake!) Pandora bracelet today with a load of beads on it. The coloured ones are a pink theme so I've already been on Ebay and ordered some purple ones to go with them.. Yesterday we saw ribbon necklaces/bracelets with these beads on and they were very pretty and rather cheap (5.99 for necklace size). Now I just need a chicken and a penguin and a shoe and a handbag. One the things that attracted me to this bracelet was that it has a dog charm on that looks just like Radley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Just bumping this for newcomers to Trollbeads/Pandora etc. .....and to say that I bought a rainbow bead for Lauren going to secondary school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Thanks Lesley, Although i cant say its helped me much............. theres just so many different types, i am so lost for choice now The photos are brilliant and there are some absolutely gorgeous bracelets. All i know for definate now is I WANT ONE!!!! But which one i dont know Gonna take OH shopping at the weekend I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I was like that before I bought mine. I opted for Troll as there seemed to be a much better choice in the beadsw I like but it's personal preference. The bracelet itself before adding any beads is a chain type bracelet whereas the pandora one is more like a snake link I think. BUt someone can correct me The clasp on the pandora bracelet is part of the chain whereas the clasp with the troll is selcted and bought seperately, this enables you to buy a decorative or plain one of your choice. I ahve the flower with pearl. does this mean I can start buying trollbeads again?? I HAD promised to stop when I bought my cube...buuuuuuuuuuut that was ages ago. I love the rainbow bead Lesley is that the trollbead one?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireG Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I've been looking to I've decided to go for the Troll bracelet as both the trollbeads and pandoras will fit on it.

chick wiggle Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Oh eck, your not helping I thought i wanted a 'proper' pandora but now, Im thinking if theres more choice with the troll i might go for one of those do you buy troll bracelets in the same shop as pandoras or are they completely different? Please forgive my ignorance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
