What is most distinctive about trollbeads, apart from the original design, is the use and combination of fascinating materials. The beads are made from the highest quality raw materials including sterling silver, 18 carat gold, Italian Murano glass, natural pearls and precious stones.

The Original concept  was developed over 30 years ago by Goldsmith Svend Nielsen in Denmark. Each bead has its own little history, taking its inspiration from mythology, astrology, fairy tales, fauna, flora, cultural diversity, and last but certainly not least, in the familiar things of everyday living.

Today, eighteen Danish and internationally renowned jewellery designers create the beads. There are more than 300 different models.

Tell your own story – create your own jewellery.

 

The many different symbols, flowers, animals, zodiac signs, colours and materials offer you endless variations and combinations, making the jewellery both unique and personal. You can start with just one bead or be bold and begin with a collection. The beads can be worn on a silver or gold chain – as a bracelet or necklace.

The beads begin life as hard wax models that are then cast and finished in a precious metal. The glass beads are created with the skill and depth of understanding that can only come from a craftsman’s hand. Each of the 130 glass beads is cored with a solid ring of sterling silver that ensures the beads run smoothly and evenly over the foxtail chains.
At present two new collections are launched each year, with the addition of the odd extra surprise. “The beads in the collection are not necessarily connected. This is because we have so many different sculptors, to date nineteen, each expressing their own individual interpretation of our world. Some beads are very figurative; others tell a more subtle story.
