Trollbead, Chamilia, Donatella, Pandora, Etc.

I've love to hear what everyone things about the charms/charm bracelet varieties and manufacturers. I started with an "original" Trollbead bracelet a few years ago, and love the quality of the beads. Then the local mall opened up a Pandora store and I was gifted with a starter bracelet and a few beads. They're pretty and their selection is good, but I've looked at Chamilia and now Macy's is selling a "Donatella" line. Still don't think they look as good as the original Trollbeads.

I have to say, though, I have purchased a few "made in U.S.A. artisan beads" from a great seller on eBay that actually fires the glass and uses the "solid cores," not that pieced in caps.

Thoughts?
