		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.
