Do Trollbeads Fit on Pandora?

April 22nd, 2009

The simple answer is no. Pandora bracelets are designed specifically for Pandora beads. This means that other brand name beads like Trollbeads will not fit on the Pandora bracelet. Of course lampwork beads with larger centres will fit as well as a handfull of Trollbeads that are quite large will fit. (Wisdom, Wave, Symbols, Four Frogs, Valentine, Summer, Winter, Large Berry, Cells, Brew of the Moor, Hearts, Koala)

But the gerneral rule is Pandora beads can fit Trollbeads bracelets, but Trollbeads can not fit Pandora bracelets. I carry both brands and I always recommend customers to get a Trollbeads bracelet so that they have the option to put whatever they like on it. Of course I am partial to Trollbeads :)

Trollbeads Play Trays

April 16th, 2009

I just received these very cool “Play Trays” yesterday!  They are a great way to play with your beads and create bracelet design ideas.  

You’ll have to excuse the wobbly picture I took – the Play Tray doesn’t fit in the light box :)  The picture is taken looking down at the tray while it sits on a table top.   There are 3 rods which hold beads and then a play area up top.  The frame is wood and the backdrop is felt.  
We will be offering these for sale in store – undecided about online yet… do I have any readers interested in buying?  They are retailing for $28.   You can contact me at info@trollbeadsnow.com if you are interested!
