How To Make A Bracelet of Special Memories with Co

How To Make A Bracelet of Special Memories with Compatible Beads on Pandora, Trollbeads and Chamilia Chai
The popular fashion for personalized bracelets using Murano
glass and Silver beads can be a way of preserving special
memories.
The basis of the bracelet is a silver or gold chain onto
which the beads are threaded using a system that keeps them
in place when spaced out, and prevents them from falling off
when the bracelet is removed.
There are three main brands, Trollbeads, Pandora and
Chamilia, and two of them were originally invented in
Denmark.
The Aagaard family from Copenhagen devised the Trollbead
system in 1976. The family continues to own the brand and
the collection now contains several hundred beads in a
variety of materials including silver, gold, glass and
natural stones.
Every bead has its own little story drawing on mythology,
astrology, animals, flowers and familiar everyday objects.
Denmark is where the Pandora system also originated. Pandora
started 1982, also from a shop in Copenhagen, owned by
goldsmith P.Enevoldsen and his wife.
The Pandora bracelet's own threaded system divides each
bracelet into three sections. Individual beads are also
threaded on their insides so that they can be screwed onto
any section of the bracelet in whatever arrangement its
owner chooses.
Pandora in Greek mythology was a woman created by the god
Hefaistos. She was sent to earth with a box and all the
evils of the world were let loose when she opened it,
leaving only hope and opportunity remaining.
Chamilia also uses a threading system for its bracelets. It
also supplies locks that can be positioned anywhere on the
bracelet to keep the beads in place if the bracelet is not
fully loaded. You can also make a double bracelet or
necklace with Chamilia's connectors.
The name Chamilia comes from the chameleon and describes the
flexibility of the bracelet that can be changed to suit the
wearer's tastes and mood, or for an event to match an
outfit, in the same way that the chameleon adapts its
appearance to the environment and surroundings it is in.
These systems all make it possible to assemble your own
unique bracelet either using the companies' own ranges of
beads or using Pandora, Trollbead and Chamilia compatible
beads. You can switch the beads around on the chains so
that they don't always appear in the same order.
Choosing the bracelet that will form the basis is the first
step to creating a unique bracelet. It is important to
choose a bracelet large enough to leave enough space on to
add the bead collection.
Your jeweler, stocking a range of beads compatible with the
three brands, or the branded beads themselves, will be able
to help you calculate the length of bracelet you will need.
Then you will be able to select those beads, made of the
famous Murano glass, or ones that are compatible with the
bracelets and mix them with silver engraved beads or use
them alone in the colors you want to create a unique,
special and very personal item of jewelry that can also be
used to mark special events throughout your life in the same
way as traditional charm bracelets.
