Barrel Jades Etc

Room for improvement, but I made this one up in a rush to wear to a family barbecue last weekend.
(The rush being the sun came out so the barbecue went ahead )

I love it! particularly the big swirly focal bead, where is that from?

it's really gorgeous

So pretty! Please do tell us where the gorgeous focal bead is from?!

Fun

I bought the focal bead as a trollbead ooak
The person I bought it from, bought it from a Trollbead Retailer several years ago along with lots of other older style ooaks.
Core isn't stamped but if it is an older style ooak it wouldn't be? The core is exactly the same size/detail/etc as my other trollbeads.
Having said that, when I was in my LD on Wednesday, I noticed they had Mango beads for sale on the Trollbead display rack
Are Mango beads troll-size?

Wow...gorgious...i really like the darkgreen barrel jade...is that tb too. Never seen it in that color

Yes, it's troll. I'd love to find more

I really like the green colours. Looks really good

Very nice. It makes me think about moss. So fresh

Wow
I've never seen an old ooak like that, it is quite fat for an old TB... It is an amazing bead though!

I really hope that the LD would move the mango beads from the Troll rack - that just isn't on! Not fair on Manda who makes Mango Beads and deserves recognition for her brand, or fair on Trollbeads customers who only buy TB! But yes they have the same size cores.

I remember I once bought what i thought was a really unusual silver from a TB rack. Did my research and it wasn't a TB at all! I returned it...

I agree with you Lollipop.

The Mango beads were on a separate rod, but on the Trollbeads rack and there was nothing to say they were Mango beads!! It's been going on for some time because when my son's girlfriend first started collecting about 3 years ago, she mistakenly bought 2 Mango beads from there believing them to be Trollbead OOAKs.

I'll compare cores next time she's down

very nice green combo!

Beautiful, love the green. It is very fresh.
And the barrel is sooo great

Room for improvement NO - I love it!

Its gorgeous and a remarkable green, I love it.

...the green barrel jade is amazing....i wish i will find one too..

I love your barrel jades!!!! If you ever want to let the green one go, please think of me!!! LOL

Great combo, great OOAK
