Trollbeads will release limited edition Chinese Zodiac beads

I had a quick look at them today and loved them, i do already have the set of large chinese silvers but would love a set a these too, they are smaller but still lovely its just the price stopping me

I presume that sensible people are investigating D4E at the moment?

if they weren't as expensive as they are now I would probably love the whole set but because they are I will limit to family members only

Oh dear... this really made me laugh Definitely more of a scream bead, they don't look at all like monkeys

I can't work the horse out at all looks very confusing and nothing remotely like a horse .... so I think I'll pass on these and save my money.

OMG I'm a monkey and was so looking forward to getting these. Now I'll have to see them IRL first. My very first bead was the 3 monkeys to represent my zodiac. And my granddaughter is a horse. Oh, my. I'm such a sucker for the zodiacs too.

I'm so excited! Thanks for showing this! I too have only 5 of the old silvers. I hope to have all of these!!!

Oh! Look at that! They are different!

You're right! It does look like the scream! Ah well, I'm a monkey and so that's my bead!

Never said this before seeing in real life, but from the photos the price seems over the top.
I paid a little more for some of my Chinese silvers because I wanted the whole set and some
were hard to find. Thought they were so elegant and something I would want to wear years
from now. But these look too cutesy, I hope I'm wrong.

here you can see the difference in size

Thanks Fairy3 - the pic is great for size comparsion.
Which ones did you get?

I got the pig and the rabbit those are for my dad and my mum* (I also bought a dragon but that one is not for me, I secretly hope that my best friend might have a baby this year and I can keep it for her)
and I have a rat, rabbit, dragon, and a goat waiting for me so luckily no pressure yet on my wallet

I'm not really that excited, I'm a rat and I just dont like the rat bead. Shame. I'm more excited about the spring collection out later this month.

All beads on a chain:

^Oh, I actually like them even more. Not everyone's cup of tea, to be sure, but I like the sort of over-stylized design of these.

I like these so much better now hat I have seen real pictures. TFS! I will be putting a set on layaway for sure. Hurry up tax refund!

I got my first three, dog, monkey for me and my PD then i also got the dragon as it seems to be the one selling best so far but i did put the rest of the set by to get when my bank balance is a little healthier

I got Tiger, Pig and Rooster today and put Dragon, Snake and Ox on layby (chose them for design only).

They are much nicer iRL than the stock photos

The designs are great, but the beads are way too small for my liking. Luckily, my heart did not connect with these beads when I held them today. A small victory!

Doess anyone know, how limited they are

From the pics I really like the goat (because of childhood memories), but there's no goat (zodiac ) in our family.

My jeweler had just one set he went to try and order an other set but he couldn't they were already all gone he said

That's what they told me as well Fairy 3. My juwel received three sets and wanted to order more, but couldn't because they were already sold out

I am a Rooster but I don't like the TB-one. Instead, I ordered the Ox; I like that one far better. It makes me 4 years junger as well
