troll bracelet chain

*Crafty Carol* · Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2008 1:25 pm Post subject: troll bracelet chain

where do i get the bracelet to make a troll bracelet? Would a snake chain bracelet be strong enough, or is the chain used for troll bracelets thicker?

they are definitely chunkier than a normal snake chain I believe, and have some kind of round fixing - not sure what it is - screw or magnetic maybe? Sorry link just takes you to the main page. Go to Findings then Chain and Memory Wire. Let me know how you get on, as I have been seriously tempted to do some myself Very Happy

best regards

Yes it's quite a thick chain but it helps the beads to sit nicely without rattling about too much

I looked on Jilly Beads and could not find them ?

If it helps at all - I am expecting a shipment to arrive in UK very shortly

I think they are simply different companies.

There are also Biagi, crysalis and Chamilia makes which are basically the same. Some may be slightly different size holes though.

Hi Caroline, I'd love to see a photo of your bracelet - which weave is it ?

I think that looks wonderful, I would never have thought about making a chain for the troll beads (I've been lusting after a chain and beads ever since I first saw them).

I've just put some bracelets on the site under 'new additions'.

To me, it seems Pandora bracelets look more like snake chains. Some have a couple of sections which allow you to put a bead which has an internal screw thead on. This helps prevent all the beads sliding around.

The Troll bracelets look more like a feather style interlocking chain, are usually oxidised. Both are about 3mm diameter

Getting the length you need is the tricky thing, because the more beads you add the longer it needs to be to allow for their thickness.

So there can be an advantage if you can make one.
