Today I’ve got a short blog post to discuss the True Beadz Christmas Collection, featuring some stoppers and locks. Stoppers and locks are fairly new to the brand, as is their chain bracelet. The Red Candy Lock and Stoppers are perfect for making one think of candy canes and sweets at Christmas! The glass garland bead is also a favourite of mine. It makes a wonderful addition to my Christmas themed beads.

The stoppers are similar to OHM’s, in that they have the tiny silicone insert inside. They fit well on the OHM bangle, Trollbeads bangle and Trollbeads chain bracelet. On the OHM bangle below, the bottom stopper is the OHM one and the others are True Beadz. On the Trollbeads bangle below right, the Trollbeads stopper is on the bottom, then the OHM one, then the True Beadz ones.

I have been wearing this bangle below all weekend and the glass beads have stayed put. Honestly, if this were to be my only Christmas themed jewelry this year, I’d be fine with that. I love this that much!

The blue stoppers are also delightful and will be useful heading into the chilly months of January and February.

Taking a look at the locks, they work fine on a Trollbeads chain bracelet. This lock and stoppers are from the Garland series. A big wow for that middle glass bead below! Those colours are truly magical!

Here is a size comparison of locks. Below left, we have the retired Redbalifrog Frog Lock, which is huge. Next is the clever Red Candy Lock from True Beadz. The third lock is the plain Trollbeads one, then the Trollbeads Lace Clasp is beside it. In the number 5 position is the True Beadz Garland Lock and last is the True Beadz True Lock with the company logo on it.

Most days I wear one glass bead. I’ve pretty much stopped wearing full bracelets other than my Pandora ones, which I keep made up. I like this look below with the stoppers and the one glass bead.

Check out all the Christmas bling below. I like it when beads from years past work with new ones.

That’s all for today! Do any of these locks or stoppers interest you at all or have you already ordered them? I hope everyone has a happy and healthy holiday season!
