Baby's breath bead

Tiffany, thanks for showing the pics.
I can see, why you are disappointed - the bead looks as if it never should have passed the quality control.

@Tiffany, I hope the new beads and the replacements are prettier and that you are happy with them, I love the bracelet made with just the BBBeads and glass, will look forward to seeing a photo of yours!

Hope you get replacement
I got my first BBB today!! It's the best silver in recent TB products in my opinion.So lovely and Trollish. I've purchased another 2 BBB

I receive they also today
It's really not my style

Are they OK? Because (and if you want to sell them) then I would be happy to buy them from you

Mine arrived as well and I'm also a bit dissapointed, they are nice but I actually don't really like them in real life and they also have the blobs of plain silver at one side.

These are two picture from the nicer sides


And the "bad" side


Not really sure what to do now... Maybe I just have to email them that I want to return them.... *note to self: never buy beads unseen*

Ok, these are a bit disappointing as well.
The nice sides are really pretty, but the silver blobs? I really looks, as if they'd taken some rings apart and "glued" them together in a bead shape. Kinda cheap looking.

But your Lab is an eyecatcher

Thank you, it took me a while to find this one, but it was definitely worth it!

About the baby's breath... these ones are going back and I'm gonna wait for the halloween beads for my next purchase. And although I don't like these beads I do think Goldmine boutique is the best! All was nicely packaged with some small goodies and I loooove trollbeads goodies

Here's Tiffany's BBB pics:

And I would be very disappointed with those, too. I haven't gotten any of mine yet, maybe this week. I'm crossing my fingers for better specimens!

Tiffany - I would have been upset with those beads too.

My order from Goldmine arrived today along with a couple of TB goodies. My BB bead has some nice clear flowers with only a very tiny area that isn't.

However the promised complimentary BB bead wasn't included in the package so I have sent off an email to them about it.

I also ordered World Within. It's nice but so teeny weeny!

See what you mean Tiffany !

I'm conflicted on mine. I have three, the quality and detail, blah. My BB ring is different, a nice little babies breath all joined together, but the bead has one section on each of them that can't be defined as anything other than a little blob. But I only paid for one and got the other two free with purchase and I can't really complain too much about something I got for free.
Compare the detail on these beads to the RedBali Frog silver which is so stunning and at such a good price. Think I will be buying more RB silver! The glass was what brought me to Troll, no reason why I can't buy RB silver and Troll glass!

Tiffany, just looked at your pictures, when i say mine are not that detailed, they are not, but yours faired worse, they are really a dissapointment, hope you get those little guys replaced with some better ones!

I got one for free with a TBboutique order. I doesn't have the detail TrollFantasy's and Tiffiny's beads have (It looks really overpolished), but it doesn't have the strange blobs you see in those picture either. I got mine for free, so I'm happy with it. I wonder why TB quality controll has slipped so much though. The bead design is great, but it's so poorly executed. Maybe TB tried to produce too many beads in a short time? It's also wierd that each bead is so different, don't they use moulds for silver?

We just find out that these were made from the rings.
TB made from 1 ring,2 spacers
That's why some are stamped with 51 or 53.

Nice from TB ,isn't it

So basically the little blobs are from the welding? Why didn't they just make a mould? It could have been so lovely. If they would have been done properly I would have bought a few extra.

TB is sooooooooo clever, didn't you know?

if the spacers were given for free, it is not so nice... but you can not say a lot, but for those who had to pay for them it is really mean and the rings should be sent to Lise, maybe she would love to wear them... at least for Halloween...

No they are not clever,they forgot to wash out the ringsize stamp

incredible....wonder if they feel ashamed?
they are so greedy...

it has been admitted by troll that the rings were cut down ,hence the finishing and ring size!lol

the whole troll world will be laughing at them....got caught!

Oh, I'm really disappointed now! Haven't received mine yet but hearing about and seeing other people's beads makes my heart sink! I was so looking forward to another small flower bead.

We can all send them back

Including the free ones? That would be a real sign of being annoyed.

I am really fascinated to think what they can make with the other styles of ring.
