Fun With Bangles

All beads on the Chamilia Bangles are by Conny Schmidt of Glass BonBon. The Pink Chrysanthemum Lady Bug on the Trollbeads Bangle is by Conny of Glass BonBon also. The 3 pink and white ornament beads and the opaque pink bud bead on the Trollbeads Bangle are Trollbeads.

The ladybugs look like they truly enjoy their new homes with you Very beautiful and cheerful

Beautiful! Since you have both TB and Chamilia bangles, May I ask which you prefer and why?
Thanks.

Oh these are so fun!

I prefer the Chamilia because I only paid $40.00 for each one. Plus they come with stoppers, they are flexible, and I find them more comfortable.

Trollbeads bangle was very expensive, and I had to purchase the stoppers in addition to the bangle, and that drove the cost up even more. My Trollbeads bangle has become misshapen. You have to find the soft spot on your wrist to put it on and to take it off. I do like that it is dainty. It is attractive and feminine and not as bold looking as the chamilia bangles. I find 5 beads is the max for the TB bangle.

I love your bangles, too. You'd got a fun theme going on w/ the ladybugs.

I would love to buy it for $40. Are there any sites where they run specials often?
How many beads do you normally wear on your Camilia bangle?

Today I wore all 3 bangles together. I wore one single bead on my trollbeads bangle, 3 on one of the Chamilia bangles and 5 on the other Chamilia bangle. I love wearing all 3 bangles together. Today I came up with a way to stack them so they are almost like one bracelet. They don't move at all. I'm going to take a picture of them on my arm for you tomorrow so you can see. It was a good bangle day for me today. I was so happy when I stacked them and they all rested like one single bracelet on my wrist with no movement. I bought my 2 Chamilia bangles on ebay and got each one for $40.00. They were brand new, came with instructions and Chamilia boxes with UPC bar codes, etc. I just love them, and after I figured a way to stack all 3 together today, I'm becoming fond of my troll bangle too!

These look great.
How do the Chamilia bangles compare size wise to the Trollbead bangles? Small and extra small TB bangle are equal to what size Chamilia bangle.
Do the small core TBs fit on the Chamilia bangles?

I wear a small TB Bangle. I bought my Chamilia bangles in a size large. My Chamilia size choice does not compare at all with trollbeads sizing. I knew I was going to be stacking them, so I purposely purchased larger than my normal sizing in the Chamilia Bangles. When I wear my large Chamilia bangle alone, it drops/hangs all the way to the widest part of my hand. I suggest if at all possible you go to a store that carries Chamilia and try them on. That is what I did, then I bought them on ebay for really good prices. Yes classic core Trollbeads fit Chamilia Bangles.

I will have to search out a store that carries Chamilia. Thanks for this info. I like the look and the ebay prices.

I will look for the store too. One more question though, does Chamilia bangle feel comfortable when you are typing? TB bangle is open on the bottom, Chamilias seems to have no gap there and there are the ball shaped ends. Do you feel them when you type? Thanks!!!

I prefer bare wrists when I type. For me, they are not comfortable when I type.

these are the 3 i've been wearing this week stacked on my left wrist. not comfy for typing though.
