Discovering Trollbeads
Trollbeads is a perfect solution to this need, because the customer creates their own necklace or bracelet from a collection of simply gorgeous beads made from sterling silver, precious stones, Murano glass, and 18 karat gold. Each piece is unique and chosen by the customer. Beads can be bought one at a time, or in any size group. And there is a very wide price range which makes the jewelry affordable to just about anyone. Trollbeads is the modern day charm bracelet.
Trollbeads is now in my gallery and it is a wonderful addition. I have been playing with them, making up bracelets and necklaces, and just having plain old fun!

About Trollbeads
Trollbeads tell a story


Trollbeads is unique jewelry. 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.
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 karat gold, Italian Murano glass, natural pearls and precious stones.
The original models are typically created in hard modeling wax cast and finished in metal. Some models are then set with stones. And other models are created directly in molten, red-hot glass.
The concept of Trollbeads charms was developed over the past 30 years. Today, eighteen Danish and internationally renowned jewelry designers create the beads. There are more than 200 different models. The full collection can always be viewed at www.lundtrading.com
Tell your own story create your own jewelry.
The many different symbols, flowers, animals, zodiac signs, colors and materials offer you endless variations and combinations, making the jewelry 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.
Create your own charm over time wish for Trollbeads, it gives others the opportunity to be part of your story.
Trollbeads have won international artistic recognition and have recently been exhibited at Sculpture Objects & Functional Art in Chicago and New York.

This bead is called Fairy.

One of the things that I love so much about the Trollbeads line, is that the company gives you so many tools to work with. My favorite tool is the card catalog to track your customers and their purchases and wishlist.
Each customer can make a list of the beads that they want to add to their jewelry, and keep it at the store for their husbands, friends and relatives to come in and buy for them for special occasions. This way they can get EXACTLY what they want and their loved ones can know what to buy for them.

Trollbeads are Artist Crafted
Each Trollbead is Created by an Individual Artist

All of the beads, clasps, and other components are artist crafted. Each bead has a name, a story, and the artist's name so you can find out more about both the creation of the bead and the artist who created it.
They are hand designed, so they fit right into the collection of fine art and fine craft that I carry in my store. They are truly collectible in the way all fine art is. Each bead is literally a work of art.

Meet the Artists Who Create Trollbeads
Artists design each bead and many of the beads are made individually

"The inspiration for my beads often comes from my world travels. They often mirror a detail from another culture. I have always loved all forms of beads, their history and the details surrounding the production. Today I work with development and production of glass beads. The glass and the silver compliment each other so beautifully." Lise Aagaard

The Personal Touch of Three Generations

"It's very exiting for me to be to be a part of Trollbeads. Especially since I'm a part of the third generation of Trollbead artists in my family. There is all this history to Trollbeads that I get to be a part of. When I make a Trollbead, I try to give it life. There has to be a reason for the Trollbead to exist. To me Trollbeads are not just jewelry; every single Trollbead has a life, a soul and a history." Nicolas Aagaard
