Cost comparison between Trollbeads, chamilia, and Pandora

When I was first interested in European beads, I tried to figure out if one of the brands was less expensive to start off with.

Basically, Trollbeads are the most expensive (especially if you don't need spacers) because you have to buy a clasp. Pandora and Chamilia are almost identical in price. If you do want to use spacers or lock beads, then all three brands cost about the same.


Here are the total costs for a bracelet, clasp (if applicable), and 2 stopper/lock beads. I picked the cheapest options in all cases.

Brand	Bracelet	Clasp	2 Spacers	Total	Total w/out spacers
Trollbeads	36	24	32	92	60
Chamilia	34.95		49.9	84.85	34.95
Pandora	35		50	85	35
