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.

[Mrs Frugal]

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 .

[Lesley]

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

Isn't that the one you had on on Saturday? Rosie commented on how nice it was. She loves those colours

[Lesley]

Yes, it was....it was a set called Lavender - £3 for 5 beads!

 

Here you go Kate...a starter for you........

Now if they did them as earrings, I could be seriously tempted as I don't really wear necklaces or bracelets. I have an embarrassingly large earring collection...........which I'm happy to enlarge .

[abwsco]

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.

[Chillicat]

OMG, we discovered Troll Beads in Windsor last weekend........my daughter loves them and is planning her birthday collection already She's 11 and will be 12 in October

So, I need to get the ebay Troll type beads............and where do I get the chain from?

[Lesley]

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.
