Rustic design with my new harmony bead!

I exchanged the 'flimsy' mistletoe bead (aka known as 'wille ball' ) I got on Thursday for the fantastic harmony bead which I wanted for ages! I can't believe I never got around to buy it, it's so lovely and looks right at home as if it's ever been with me! I'm so happy I got rid of the mistletoe, I'd have never worn it much !

Beautiful beads, I keep meaning to buy Harmony too, it is a lovely substantial silver.

OH, I was the same...took me forever to buy harmony and I LOVE IT!!! Now, as far as mistletoe goes, I have it sitting in a box at my LD while I decide whether I want it or not...can't decide!?!

Can you see it IRL? Then just do what your heart tells you! This time I didn't, I just 'wanted to buy a bead from the Xmas collection and I like mistletoes' so that was wrong. If you think you will love and wear it, just go for it!

That's funny, I was another "bought harmony recently and can't believe I didn't buy it years ago" person!! It's such a simple striking design ~ and I love all beads with bobbles . You can't get more harmonious than this pieces of nature bracelet either, I love it!

I haven't got it either. It's a lovely bead and very 'Old Troll'. Mmm, one to get the next time I'm at my LD.

That's a gorgeous bracelet; harmony is a perfect bead. (adds to wishlist)

Love the combo...nice color very autumnlike...beautiful silverbeads also.

Harmony is still on my wishlist.... looking at your fantastic combo, i think i will need this bead SOON!!

Harmony is superb - why didn't I notice that before. Many thanks for enlightening me. It looks really great with your wonderful stones.

Love this whole braclelet!

Wonderful bracelet and Harmony really does look like a "you" bead!

Wonderful combo, great new bead.

Was Harmony one of the original six beads? It is a beautiful simple bead and looks perfect on your bracelet.

Fantastic combo and your stones and ambers are incredible! Makes me think of ancient Greece!

Yes, the Willy ball would never work in that combo, harmony looks so at home with the rest of that lovely design, great decision

A very trollish combo
This is the style, why I had started collecting.
I love your choice of silvers and Harmony fits in perfectly

Yes it was - this is a slide from last year's convention.


I love Harmony too - a really nice, heavy bead - and yes, very Old Troll.

Oh, that's just gorgeous. It's warm and classic. I love it!

Thanks for that, I need to get a few more to have the collection.......5 in fact!

your bracelet is really gorgeous! Harmony is a great bead, I discovered it only lately and my local dealer was very astonished that I hadn't got it already! Much nicer, much more trollish than the flimsy mistletoe, you did well to return it!

As always a fantastic combo in earthy colors !
And you´re right- Harmony is perfect for your combos

Harmony was one of the first silvers I bought and it's still a great favorite that ends up on almost every bracelet I put together. The other silvers on your bracelet are also really nice (those bicones!). I didn't think I'd want a Trollcoin but I bet it's only a matter of time . . . I saw the Mistletoe last night and I was not at all impressed, so I think you made a much better choice!

I didn't know that, thanks for posting!
What I just don't get: Why are these 6 the 'original six' beads? When I look at the TB Museum online there are others that are older...

Hi MMP - I have to say I am confused by the different accounts of the original beads in the on-line Museum, UK Convention slide (which I posted), the 30 year anniversary magazine and the coffee table book!! I tried to make sense of it - but there are contradictions. I think they may simply have forgotten!! This topic has been discussed elsewhere on this Forum if that helps:

If anyone has a definitive list, I would love to see it :-)))
