Trollbeads Gallery, easy online shopping for authentic  original troll beads !

The Original Trollbeads are unique and exciting jewelry.  Each Trollbead has its own history, taking its inspiration from mythology, astrology, fairy tales, fauna, flora, cultural diversity, and last but not least, familiar things of everyday living. Troll Beads in a variety of materials including sterling silver and gold are combined to offer a wide range of options.   What is most distinctive about Trollbeads, apart from the original design, is the combination of the materials used. Trollbeads are made from the highest quality raw materials including sterling silver, 18 Karat gold, Italian Murano glass, natural pearls, semi- precious stones and amber.   The most popular category for this website is the Unique or One of a Kind Trollbeads.  Also referred to as OOAK, they are created to be different and fun, where the troll artists can use their imagination and create something new with each bead.  As the artistic endeavors continue to evolve so do the materials used.   The original models are created by Troll beads artists in hard modeling wax, cast and then finished in sterling silver or 18 Karat gold. Some of these Trollbeads, or charms, are then set with gemstones and dichroic glass.

Trollbeads Murano glass beads are created directly in molten, red-hot glass in a method referred to as “lampworking”. The colors, textures and patterns are breathtaking. 

The year 2007 brought a bounty of new beads and new materials to Trollbeads collectors.  Amber was a triumphant breakthrough for Trollbeads and by offering “One of a Kind” or “OOAK” Amber sets, the artists continue to challenge themselves insuring the best possible creations. The year 2008 has brought many new beads in beautiful colors and imaginative patterns.   The “Silver Trace” beads have wonderful tiny bits of silver offering a whole new dimension and they are available in a rich array of colors from a sold yellow/blue to a rich deep pink.  The new “Milky Way” Trollbead is a deep cobalt blue that contains a galaxy of stars deep within the bead.  

Trollbeads are a reminder of our past, a passion for the present and a celebration of our future.
