The back story is that years ago my great-aunt brought me back lovely charms from Scandinavia. I had the jeweler permanently solder them on the bracelet. Lately I wanted to make it more Troll-friendly. It was just blah, sort of, without any Troll -- and feeling quite lonely, LOL! And I wasn't wearing it . I purchased several clip beads that I felt I could clip between the charms. That worked, but didn't give any color, and I was afraid I might lose the clip if it wasn't clipping tight enough over the chain.
Yesterday I beaded pearls and Swarovski crystals to alternate between some of the charms -- that added color and left me with lonely clip beads.
After some tweaking, I made a ring. It's going to be a favorite!
IF YOU WANT IT TO BE ENTIRELY INTERCHANGEABLE: USE 1-3 CLIP BEADS depending on the size of your finger across or if you want to wear it on your little finger.
MINE IS PARTIALLY INTERCHANGEABLE: I can change the two outer clip beads (these open and shut as stoppers.) I knew I'd keep the center bead as it has moonstone and never really showed up on my other bracelets, but it is central to the ring.
DESIGN POSSIBILITIES: Use clip beads with non-clip Troll-type as I did or use a central bead with beads that are simply large hole beads.
I bet we could get one of our glass people at http:www.addicted2beads.ning.com to make some small large hole beads to use on rings!
