In order to avoid frustration we want to ensure that everyone is aware that this very special bead is not limited edition but is part of the collection.  In other words it is here to stay for the time being.

Truth be told that,  to date only two Trollbeads artisans have mastered the incredibly intricate technique of creating this stunning bead featuring a red heart set in a white circle with a vivid blue surround and therefore production is taking a little longer than anticipated.  We want all our loyal fans and collectors to rest assured that we will do our utmost to ensure that everyone who orders one of these beads through an authorised Trollbeads retailer will eventually receive one if possible.

Thank you for your patience!

“To me, the most fascinating thing about Trollbeads is the incredible way in which the glass charm beads are made. I remember watching a video that demonstrated the amazing skill involved in forming such intricate and colourful designs in glass. I have been privileged in dealing with, and getting to know, the beads each day, and being a part of their journey to the customer.

Trollbeads Lucky Knot

Trollbeads are all about creating a story, and mine begins with Lucky Knot. As well as its simple elegance, I love the bead because it was the first code that I learnt working here – a pretty easy 11112!

Trollbeads Labradorite

My favourite bead is Labradorite. Mine has a beautiful distinct blue flash to it, which emphasises the blue colours of my other beads, such as Blue Petals, and makes it so unusual.

Trollbeads Triple Pearl White

I have greatly enjoyed my six months working with the Trollbeads team, and have made amazing friends. Triple-Pearl White will complete my Trollbeads story, since my two closest friends here, Tara and Erin, are also getting it. Each pearl represents one of us, and will remind me of home when I am away travelling.  I probably won’t be wearing it in the jungle though!”

Thank you Trollbeads!

Good luck to you Elly on your travels, please send us a postcard if you can!
