Silver pearl FN, Amethyst FN and Mangolo beads...

A little while ago I noticed Mandy had been working on some stunning Mangolo beads... and I've been waiting till they were available for sale. Had some vague idea on how to wear them on my FN and it turned out rather pretty imo.

Still waiting for a Trollbeads (XXL) OOAK to meet these beads' design...

My favorite is this one with a Trollbeads Amazonite bead, a green and white Mangolo lampwork bead, a Trollbeads silver stopper bead and a silver Bowerbeads Waratah bead on a Trollbeads silver pearl FN.


Another pretty one I find this combination with a Trollbeads Black Onyx bead, a black and white Mangolo lampwork bead, a Trollbeads silver stopper bead, a Trollbeads OOAK and a silver Bowerbeads Waratah bead on a Trollbeads silver pearl FN.


This last one needs a bit modification though I like the colors together. A green Mangolo lampwork bead, a purple and blue flower Mangolo lampwork bead, a Trollbeads silver stopper bead and a silver Bowerbeads Waratah bead on a Trollbeads amthyst FN.


The stopper bead fits inside the Mangolo beads and serves to keep the Mangolo beads centered on the chain.

They are amazing...Would love to see a photo of one taken from above, next to a Tb, if you have the time one day.
The Green combo is stunning, the Mangola is a perfect match for the amazonite.
Have to admit that I "read" Manolo bead....

Te turquoise combo is stunning and the size is perfect for the fantasy necklace. A showstopper!

I love the green Mangolo bead. I wish Trollbeads would do some with that design.

Ooooo the green is stunning, looks amazing with the Amazonite!

These look great on the FN. One of these days I will post some pics of mine. But in the meantime I am just getting lots of ideas from everyone here.

Gorgeous - really dramatic. I wear my BowerBeads Waratah on a FN a lot too - it looks great!

These are beautiful,,beyond beautiful.

That made me laugh out loud - I take it your other "addiction" is shoes??

Wow - Those are huge beads! LOL Very cool though!

Beautiful beads! They have done really well and truly fashionable colors. The ametyst FN it's very gorgeous and i love it.

I seen their site and found the intenet beadracks and I would buy one for my beads. Do any of you know if it is a good container and if the rods are for Trollbeads steel ones?

As requested. The Mangolo beads from above...

These are neat beads and beautiful designs.

I have a question. What exactly are mangolo beads...I may be dumb, but I have not heard of those before. They are beautiful, but are the holes made that big for a reason? They look like they have about 10mm holes. I am very interested in these beads!! Yours are gorgeous as always!!!!

Hi Trolldog...yes they are Manda's latest design..she also makes big hole Troll size beads which have been called Buddies, Bumble beads and now big hole beads. These Mangolos she says can be used in any designs...on a chain, leather whatever you want really......I think they would look great on a long foxtail too...they remind me a bit of beads Kim Miles used to make bangle bead which were a glass ring round a bead....

OmG I'm going to need to order a few of these!!!

When I have some time tomorrow I'll do a pic of a necklace with these beads as Manda intended them to be worn.

But really, these prices for beautiful handmade beads... a whole set for the price of 1 new 2011 TB OOAK...

They are lovely ..the aqua one is my favourite and it looks beautiful on the fantasy necklace. I would love to see what they look like on the foxtail and short leather ..so looking forward to the pics

The Mangolo beads are meant to be worn like shown on the next two pictures.
I use a Thomas Sabo sterling silver long chain.



The single focals I preferably combine with a top bead, like the Bower Beads Waratah flower bead.





A lot of possibilities with only a few beautiful handmade beads... and a FN if available.

Utterly amazing! Those last pics have pushed me over the edge. Had to go and look at the website, then of course I had to buy a bead.



Talk about value for money compared with the major brands. Large, complex works of art for the price of a single mass produced bead.

Trouble is - I want lots more now I have looked.

I'm like trolldog....I never heard of mangola beads....I see they don't have any silver cores.
Where can I find Manda?
My favorite of yours is the first one....It is Beautiful!!!

She is so obsessed with silver cores that she has a whole page on her website about the special type of beads that she puts them in, does it herself and won't let her hubby do any of them at all.
