Trollbeads Spacers Collection

May 18, 2016 Elsa Leave a comment

Trollbeads launched the ‘Spacers Collection’ on May 13th. For readers familiar with Trollbeads, these are in fact stoppers as they have the same rubber core. Trollbeads are renaming ‘stoppers’ as ‘spacers’.

Stoppers / spacers are so useful. They can be put on the end of a bracelet to stop the beads falling off, used on each end of a bangle to secure the beads, and used on Trollbeads fantasy necklaces, foxtail chains or bracelets to ‘space’ and ‘position’ the beads.

Until now, stoppers were only available in plain silver, gold, copper and oxidised silver. For the first time, Trollbeads have introduced decorative spacers. This is a beautiful collection of seven new designs and is something that has been long awaited by a lot of collectors.

Here are the new designs …..

‘Bumblebee Spacer’ (£50 / €58 / $63)

‘Beehive Spacer’ (£35 / €42 / $46)

‘Dot’n’dot Spacer’ (£25 / €28 / $31)

‘Sweet Berries Spacer’ (£35 / €42 / $46)

‘Sunbeam Spacer’ (£25 / €28 / $31)

‘Hearts Spacer’ (£45 / €58 / $63)

‘Connected Love’ Spacer (£50 / €58 / $63)

Mother's Day 2016, Trollbeads Releases 2016

Trollbeads Mother’s Day 2016 Collection Review

February 16, 2016 Elsa Leave a comment

Following the release of Trollbeads Mother’s Day collection for 2016 yesterday, I promised my readers a post to show some live images of the collection and the variation available.

The Rosa Pearl Fantasy Necklace appears to come in two shades, a peach pink and a pink/purple pink. Whilst the peach pink is a beautiful shade, I did find it blends better with cream beads from the collection as opposed to beads that are a true pink, so that may be something worth bearing in mind when making a choice over the shade of pearl.The Rosa Pearl Fantasy Necklace is also a perfect compliment to the Rosa Pearl Ring from the Spring collection.

As you can see, the Apple Blossom pendant is of a good size and can also fit on bracelets and bangles. Two of these on a bangle either side of the Pink Delight Facet look very pretty.

The amount of variation in the Pink Delight Facet is tremendous. Some show the ombre shading, others do not. The range of shades include pale pink, rose pink, cerise, lilac, purple and even a pink with a purple haze reminiscent of the aurora style beads (visible slightly on the far left bead and spectacularly on the far right bead).

This is another stunning release from Trollbeads and the variation available in the glass offers shades of pink / purple that match a range of glass beads already in the collection.

Trollbeads Mother’s Day 2016 Preview

February 11, 2016 Elsa Leave a comment

Tomorrow, 15th February 2016, sees the release of Trollbeads Mother’s Day collection for 2016.

This beautiful collection of three pieces comprises of a new fantasy necklace, a new silver pendant and a new faceted glass bead.

Here are the individual pieces ….

Rosa Pearl Fantasy Necklace £105 – £140 / €127 – €169 / $139 – $186

Apple Blossom Pendant / Bead £50 / €58 / $63

Pink Delight Facet (Limited Edition) £45 / €51 / $56

The Rosa Pearl necklace appears to come in two shades of pink, one more peach-pink and one more purple-pink. The Pink Delight Facet ranges in colour from a pale pink to a strong pink which is reminiscent of the Pink Desert bead shade, some appear self coloured whereas others display the ombre shading. All are stunning though.

This is a beautiful collection and is likely to appeal to those of you who liked the Limited Edition Emerald Cherry Blossom fantasy necklace collection. I hope to get some live photos up within the next day or two so please keep your eye out for the next post.

Trollbeads Spring 2016 Review

January 24, 2016 Elsa Leave a comment

Following last Friday’s debut of Trollbeads Spring 2016 collection, this post brings live images and initial thoughts on the release.

Named the ‘Uplifting Collection’, it features a range of themes including floral, mystical, nature and abstract. The glass beads are nothing short of stunning and aptly demonstrate the high standard of glass that Trollbeads are renowned for. Sparkling zirconas, glittering copper and airy pastel colours dominate. The silver pieces show beautiful attention to detail and will complement past releases, as will the glass.

For those of you viewing this article on mobile devices, please note that there are a lot of photos included.

Without further ado, here are some live shots to showcase the collection ….

‘Fragile Purity‘ and ‘Ornamental Flower‘ …

‘Floral Wishes‘, ‘Heavens Crane‘ and ‘Fragile Purity‘ …

‘Birds of a Feather Small‘, ‘Floral Wishes‘ and ‘Heaven’s Crane‘ …

‘Lovers Faith‘ and ‘Blossom Shade‘. For those readers who are familiar with the X Jewllery (formerly X by Trollbeads) collection, ‘Lovers Faith’ is very similar to the ‘Poppy Decadence’ link …

‘Whale Spirit‘, ‘Honest Love‘, ‘Freedom Feather‘ and ‘Violet Stripe‘ …

‘Wild Flowers‘, ‘Whale Spirit‘ and ‘Honest Love‘ …

‘Rainbow Bridge, ‘Soul Artichoke‘ and ‘Healing Heart‘ …

‘Healing Heart‘, ‘Yin Yang‘ and ‘Rainbow Bridge‘. This Rainbow Bridge bead is a lovely example with lots of colour, but I have also seen darker less colourful examples as in the previous photo. This will be a bead that varies quite a lot …

The back of the Yin Yang bead …

‘Rainbow Bridge‘, ‘Spiritual Dragon‘ and ‘Wise Bamboo‘ …

Below are a couple of photos of Spiritual Dragon from other angles …

‘Wise Bamboo‘,’Soft Wind of Change Oval‘ and ‘Meditation‘ ….

‘Meditation‘, ‘Fan of Kindness‘ and ‘Graceful Sky‘ …

Two new locks feature in the collection. Here we have the ‘Heaven’s Crane Lock‘ ….

The photograph below shows the new Heaven’s Crane lock next to the existing Swan lock.

The other new lock is the ‘Turn Around Lock’ …

The Freedom Feather Pendant is a lovely design with a bohemian feel to it. Here it is featured with Trollbeads Fantasy Necklace with Pearl …

The two faceted glass beads have been reproduced in rings, firstly is the ‘Meditation Ring‘ ….

…. and secondly the ‘Blossom Shade Ring‘ …

In summary, this is another beautiful release by Trollbeads. it is a well thought out release and the glass kit is a perfect complement to the ‘Balance of Nature’ kit from the Fall collection last year. The silvers also complement previous release, particularly Spring and Fall 2014. The colours are light and airy and the zirconias and copper dust give subtle hints of sparkle to glisten in the Spring sun. The range of designs in this release offers something to suit most tastes and is a credit to Trollbeads designers.

Trollbeads Releases 2016, Trollbeads Valentines 2016

Trollbeads Valentines Day 2016

January 10, 2016 Elsa Leave a comment

The first Trollbeads release of 2016 is Trollbeads Valentines collection. Released on January 18th, this is a nice small collection of just three pieces … a glass bead, a silver bead, and a new style of ring.

The glass bead ‘Blooming Hearts’ is very similar to the designs we saw in the glass kit released for Valentines 2015. The bead is a pink core with red, purple and gold glitter hearts on the surface. This bead is limited edition and will retail at £35 / €42 / $46.

The silver bead ‘Heart Rhythm’ is a disc shaped bead and features an edge design similar to a heart rate monitor trace, with heart shapes cut out on the face of the bead. Again, this bead is limited edition and will retail at £25 / €28 / $31.

The final piece in the collection is a new style of ring that allows you to add a glass bead of your choice. ‘Ring of Change’ is not limited edition and will retail at €69.

Pre-orders are now being taken at some retailers.

Black Friday 2015

Trollbeads Midnight Brilliance – Black Friday 2015

December 21, 2015 Elsa Leave a comment

This year Trollbeads have specifically launched a global ‘Black Friday’ bead. Released on November 27th, this bead is a limited edition and has proved highly popular.

Designed by Lise Aagaard, this is a faceted glass bead with random patches of copper sparkle. From a distance the core appears black, however when the bead catches the light it does have a slight burgundy hint to it.

This bead is a perfect complement to the copper bangle and is a lovely bead to add a bit of sophisticated sparkle to a Christmas outfit.

The bead retails at £45 / €51 / $56, though between Black Friday and Cyber Monday the bead was on promotion with 25% discount.
