Its an entirely innocent question, but are those bracelets made up of Trollbeads a bit chavvy?

[moodlumthehoodlum]

I think they are quite pretty, but I can't decide if they are a bit chavvy..

What's the MN view on this.

In case you have no idea what I'm talking about look here

I ahve no idea either.

I do quite like them, and I used to want one; but I keep seeing them on other people and I'm not so fussed anymore.

If you mean these, then I don't think they are chavvy but market stalls often sell fake ones which aren't as nice.

I hope not. DH got me one (well Pandora) for my birthday and I like it. Expect a lively reaction to your use of the word "chavvy" though.

I quite like them and have been looking at them on Etsy.com

but if you wanted something similar but not the same, this lady does some lovely braclets

I think maybe they are being seen more and more, and I do like the concept of them but maybe I would get bored of it?

I've been wondering about these too - there is a Pandora one in Marie Claire this month which is stunning - I costed it out on their site and it worked out about £2500 though..! Yikes.

Like the idea of buying the basic bracelet and getting the beads for Xmas and birthday presents, it might take me a good while to finish it off though. I think the "chavviness" level is entirely dependent on the combination of beads you choose though..and expensive doesn't necessarily equal tasteful imo.

Thank you for the link moodlum - I think they're lovely & they're not chavvy at all imo.

I have one which has been added to for birthdays and christmas by family, dp and ds - I like it because it is personal - it is MY bracelet and there isn't another one like it....and ds likes deciding where the next bead will go!

Blimey lockets - you lot are generous. My dss teacher just gets chocolates

my daughter got one with 3 charms as a christening gift from one of her godmothers / had never heard of them before.
the name is strange, though...

dh got me one - i don't wear it becuase he boguht it whilst being an uber shit fuckwank

custardo I LOVE your way with words..

They are very commonplace now so wouldnt want one ever.

Custardo - you crack me up

Lockets - she'll love it, lucky thing.

I want one but am far too poor

Not commonplace where I live - can honestly say I've never seen anyone in one round here. I think it might have something to do with us living miles from decent shops.

I had no idea what you were talking about tbh until i looked at the link.

I think it depends on who is weaing at, as does so many looks. It could either look very sleek and unusual or look like you have put £1 in one of those seaside machines, turned the knob and hey presto look what you have won!

er no, not chavvy

seeing as how I'm collecting the Pandora ones and dh I've spent 225 quid so far and it's only a third full

not chavvy at all

It's beautiful and unusual and there are no two the same, I have four cats on mine (as I unsurprisingly have four cats )
