Lesley Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I've expanded my collection so started a necklace......I used a silver necklace I already have....... and Lauren brought me a large dangly heart bead back from Transylvania last week...... This one is a beautiful pinky purple - my son is going to bring me back a few more next time he goes over there. Lauren has one in a brown and gold colourway. I wear necklaces more than I wear bracelets so I will add a few more beads to my necklace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 The beads are beautiful, Lesley ! I love all the colours together. So pretty. Please don't get me started on collecting any . I can see myself never having any savings . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 If you choose something from Argos with a silver necklace the right length for you - and with a small end link that will fit through the beads - and use the Ebay shops for non-authentic beads then it can be a cheap option. That collection on my necklace was only a £s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an embarrassingly large earring collection...........which I'm happy to enlarge . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 It's lovely Lesley I don't do necklaces apart from the odd occassion but need another silver bracelet as my troll one is full and I've more troll beads. Am I right in thinking that's where you bought your bracelet from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 I've bought all my stuff from Ebay shops - I just choose UK based ones. I bought 3 bracelets from Orkney Bracelets but mine came from Findingsnfings. I think either of these - and the other Ebay shops - will make a necklace to match their bracelets - just ask. I decided to start with a decent sterling silver bracelet and add cheaper charms which I could change at a later date - I actually love the charms and I'm not bothered what they cost! The necklace in the photo is an ordinary silver chain which usually has my amethyst pyramid charm on it but last night I went to the Pamper Evening at the school and the first thing i saw was a person selling troll type charms and necklaces as well as bracelets. I bought a silver plated necklace for £3.50 I'll see whether I like it and may change to a better one at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
