My bracelet is so boring compared to the ones I have seen on here! Embarassed

But I thought I may as well show it off as its unique and the few people that have seen me wearing it like it.

I am not an overly colourful person and I've stuck to mostly silver beads that represent things that I like or have special meaning. Colour-wise there's just my one dark blue glass bead, I wouldn't have picked it myself but I got it with the bracelet and a few other beads from a chamilia rep, but I have a few other brighter blue glass beads earmarked to brighten it up some more!

Sorry for the photo quality, my cameras are rubbish. Sad

Above, as it is. I have two locks holding everything in place. I've had it like this for a few days, a co-worker rearranged it for me and I really like how she did it Embarassed It's a mix of Ohm, Chamilia, Truth and Silverado.

My 'aquatic' side. I love sealife! Conch, seahorse, starfish, and turtle. With my 21 bead and teapot, which represents my mum (who is a typical Brit Laughing ). I have an aeroplane on order to represent my dad.

You can see my Jiminy cricket really clearly on this one, I got him for luck when I started my college course last year. Smile I love him. My Mrs Pott and chip were 21st birthday presents. As you can gather I like disney.

Thumper is, well just because I liked Bambi and Thumper as a child. The hearts were a freebie! And this is now leading to my nature side with the flowers and butterfly.

The Truth cat is for my kitty Milo, this is a typical daily pose for him and I searched all over before I could find one just right as I like natural, realistic looking beads. At this moment in time he (the real cat) is trying to get behind the tv and driving me beserk. The mouse is because I have had many memorable rodents. The snake is a bit hard to work out in the photo but that's because it's A) Blue Razz and B) I was born in the year of the snake.

I'm planning to get a braided leather bracelet next, one of the wrap-around types. bounce I can't wait!

Very nice meaningful bracelet. I was doing the same thing you are before I discovered troll....I had one bracelet with most meaningful silvers that I got as gifts or bought myself because they represented something I liked.
Then I found troll and couldn't resist all the colour....LOL
I sold all my pandora to support troll habit Smile

I do admit I love the style of the bracelet and locks - especially that pending dragon one I keep seeing around! Temptatiioooooon Ouch

Thanks for the compliments! I've got my fingers crossed for the three other beads I ordered will arrive in the next few days.

Very personal, I like it. And Chamilia is the way to go for Disney beads!

There are some Trollbeads that will fit onto a Chamilia bracelet. For glass, the Universal Uniques, of course. But a fair number of the silvers will, too. There's a list somewhere, if I can find it.

Here's the list from 2009:
http://trollbeadsnow.com/blog/trollbeads-trollbead/complete-list-of-trollbeads-that-fit-pandora-bracelets/


You're right, finding a nice cat bead can be hard. Most of them are either cartoony and cutesy or they have weird demonic eyes.

I love disney too, your Thumper is adorable and your turtle is to die for. An almost all silver bracelet is a nice change. I started that way with Pandora, have sold most of it, but I kept all the ones that were gifts and had special meaning.

What an interesting idea to have nearly only silver beads! (I usually have much more glasbeads than silver) - I like your beads a lot and I love bracelets with meanings after every bead!!

Love it! I have an all silver bracelet also that is mainly chamilla beads that have meaning for me. And my gold and silver beads bracelet is a combination of Cham and Pandora. I love your mouse bead! He is too cute.

I don't find it boring at all. I love your seahorse, which brand is that one? And you have lots of other interesting silvers as well though. I'm a fan of more glass myself, but somehow your silvers work perfectly together and the bracelet looks great. cheers

I agree that there is nothing boring about it! All silver combos are great, and the meaning behind each bead makes yours all the more special!

I love the texture of an all silver bracelet. I usually divide mine into 3 sections with stoppers and leave some open space in each section so the beads have room to move. I think the Trollbeads chain is beautiful and this lets it show.

I believe it's brandless, I got it off ebay from Australia last year. Smile Everyone that sees it loves it though!

Love your bracelet!! In June 2011, I started with all silvers that held special meaning. I have expanded my collection to include quite a number of glass beads, but the silver ones are nearer and dearer to my heart.
