I generally pay between £14 and £25 per bead.
I dunno if most people try to fill their bracelets, or are just happy with a handful.
Mine's full
and I bought a gold lotus flower.

Well, I decided the cheapy necklace from HPJ looks pants, so I am going to have to get a Trollbeads one. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just £56 for the necklace, but you have to buy a flipping lock as well, which is another £42 or so! That's before you even start to buy beads.
It will have to wait though, as I have more important )and boring) things to pay for at the minute, like getting the cat's baldness under control. Grrr!

It is quite a lot for a clasp. I bought the fish clasp but I can't remember what it cost. The thing is though, the clasp is as nice as the beads so worth it in the long run. I hope you get the Troll one, they are nice and I get loads of comments on mine. Think of it as a charm bracelet and you can build it slowly.

That's the spirit!
I have a great weakness for jewellery and fund my habit by selling other stuff that I love less.
I just spend my bursary and student loan
Graduation in July, so I will have to revert to spending my hard earned income!

I just ordered this chain from Amazon:
It was £68.50! I did try and avoid spending so much by putting the beads on some of my other chains, but they really didn't look very good - they didn't sit together properly.
The chain came today and I have to admit that it is very thick and good quality - maybe that's why it's expensive.

Is it too late for me to join this thread and say that I think you're all fucking bonkers?
You could get a decent one-off piece of jewellery for the same price as you're all paying for mass produced beads ffs.
*wanders off shaking head*
Presumably everything you own is a one off then?
No?

I've got loads of one off pieces of jewellery, but there is space in my wardrobe (
) for mass produced beads too. <wanders off again>

No, but I woldn't pay £42 for a mass produced bead. It's like 'I saw you coming' ffs. No, it's worse than that, it's like those happy meal toys for grown ups.Presumably everything you own is a one off then?
No?

As I have previously said, I don't pay £44 for any of the beads.
Apart from the gold one, obviously, I would be a bit sus at spending that little on gold.
If you don't like them, it's fair enough, but don't piss on other people because they do. It's not good manners.

Is it gold?
What thickness is it (in milimeters)
Are the beads supposed to move about or stay still?

Oi, nowt wrong with buying Troll beads and one off craftsman made pieces as well. Troll beads give your rellies something to buy you when they've no other ideas.
