but I was in a Pandora shop the other day and they are selling some quite ghastly orange and clear beads which are a good 18mm in diameter (for lots of money).

I may have to go and have a quiet shudder in their shop later .... I feel quite smug as I leave the shop empty handed :P

I know this is a bit late but my Troll beads measure 14-15 mm and the pandora ones are a bit skinnier and measure 14.5 mm
Is that the diameter of the bead?

Yes Pat that is the diameter of the bead.

The Pandora beads tend to be regular in size, but Troll beads vary in size more and have more interesting designs. The mandrel hole is smaller on the Troll beads as well. ( I have lots of Troll and a few Pandora, bought before I got into melting glass!)
