2+2 gold or gold silver ?

Which one to choose? Advice please and pics if possible
I always wanted this bead and now I started thinking, what if I might like the all gold version even better.....

I have this in gold and silver so it can look good also with planet / around the world / space and stars only I think in all gold it is much like lucky not wich is cheeper.

I have the all gold version and I LOVE it so much :-)

How about this for an alternative...she can do all gold as well:

I had both ,but sold the gold one
I like the bicolor version more(strang because i'm a goldfreak )

I have the all-gold version and I love it:



I'm sorry, the colors are not very fall-like.

I had both and sold the 2-tone (gold/silver). So I still have the all gold. Now I have just since yesterday been debating trying to swap for the 2-tone again, I wish I had kept it, it is more my style. SO I am no help!

Another vote for the two tone version :-) I love the contrast of the smooth gold and the dark rough silver.

It is good to see both versions in action, gorgeous bracelets from Kathleen and Beady-Eyed!

I prefer the two tone version too, think it works best with the contrast. I love mine and wear it on every bracelet ~ although my skin makes the dark oxidation wear off so I keep ending up with gold and light silver and have to re-oxidate it (tricky not getting the liver of sulphur on the gold hoops ).

I also prefer the contrast between the gold and textured, dark silver.

you can see this is I mean in Beady-eye photos for there is both beads.

I would go for the two tone

The bicolor version is much more artistic IMHO. It's one of the most beautiful beads TB ever made. But it is so personal, just follow your own heart.

Many thanks you for sharing your thoughts (and the lovely pics of course!)
It's very helpful to read about the pros and cons and to get points of view
Still will have to sleep about it, but there's a combo in the catalogue, that I can't get out of my mind: it has the two tone version together with cherry blossom,origami, buttons, ball of yarn and a few white pearls......

Sorry for being late to your question: I have the two-tone version and I love it. The dark silver adds depth to it IMHO and I love the contrast - like day and night, yin and yang - it adds balance to my bracelet

Nicely done and much cheaper than TB, but somehow it'd bug me to have something so obviously copied and not being Troll...
Like I'd never be happy with a fake designer bag ...

Oh... and I'd go for the two-tone one as well. I have and love it for the same reasons mouseoncheese stated!

I hear you... I feel the same about bags and items with fake branding.

Yes it's strange I could well buy this one from her

or even the all-silver one, but not the blatant rip-off ...

I have not looked at new prices (since going up that is) ... but a few years ago they were close in price and if they still are go for the gold !!!

In fairness to her though, people were asking her to make one like the TB...me included until I got lucky to get the real deal

I love the gold but the g/s is more versatile.

I don't own either but have always thought the two tone one is beautiful and artistic like someone else noted.

Oooh that etsy shop also sells an all silver 2 tone version. Drool!
