Story of you

That's a perfect example Nkara.

I didn't even like these until I saw Nkara's photo and now I want one!

It looks like a lovely set from Nkara's picture & I really like the lock

That is a real beauty. I would not have been able to resist.

Stunning bead and lock, congrats Nkara!  

Beautiful. I am in love with this bead already...

I have one stopper and a safety chain in need of a good bracelet. I wouldn't mind a faceted aurora and I really like the lock.

This truly is a beauty!  

I wonder how limited the lock will be? Will it become standard after the sets sell out?

The bead and lock is limited edition. According to the rep in place last night it will be going through to december. But he didn't say if there was a limited number too.
(I got one too at the same party. But mine is lighter. And I take way crapier photos than Nkara...)

Fera, that one is beautiful too!   I somehow must have mixed it up, the lock does not have a pearl?   that would be great! so you can't lose it...

No Pearl!

Lovely to see the beads in action, thank for the pics Nkara and Fera

I am still undecided about the bead, I love the smooth Aurora and am not convinced in *need* the facetted one. I do know I like the lock though.

It's a shame they are only available as a set. Would it be worthwhile to start a list of those just wanting a lock or the bead so that we can split sets up between us?

Nevermind. Brain problems...  

   .... just saw it IRL !

They both look great!

They are beautiful  

I must admit I'm also tempted...

it is very pretty. will all TB retaillers be selling it, including silver level?

I think silver level dealers can get the l.e.'s now. In my experience most silver level dealers opt out of the limited editions though. But I found out yesterday Pooles will be getting them

Heads up on bracelet length: the new flower/leaf lock is slightly shorter than the Freja & Lace locks I have, so when I bought my Story of You set I bought a slightly longer bracelet so I could get the same comfortable fit I expect.  Since you're buying an unloaded bracelet you might not notice there's a difference. SEE QUALIFYING STATEMENT IN MY NEXT POST (below)

I got mine today, and I really love it.  It's a medium shade, neither as dark or as light as some I've seen pictures of.  But it has a lovely opalescent shine that I love.  I'm not super crazy about the flowers on the lock, but it is a lovely lock and I like how three-dimensional it is - a vast improvement on the last few locks that have come out.

I'd also like to thank Trollmoll for your message a few days ago - I tried to reply to thank you, but it said I didn't have enough posts yet to send PMs.  So please don't think I'm being rude and ignoring you!

Actually now I'm wondering if I'm wrong about the slightly shorter length making an appreciable difference  I'm wearing the new lock (does it have an official name?) with the same length chain I use for Freja/Lace locks and it's not too tight . . .  So use your own judgment because I probably overreacted

D4E Just have listed the bead and lock to sale seperate.
