I love Trollbeads!Some information about Trollbeads:
"Danish Trollbeads is the original and authentic brand of collectable charm bead jewellery, featuring an extensive dynamic range of quality, highly individual beads in over 400 intricate designs. Developed over the past 30 years by Danish design company, Lise Aagaard Copenhagen, Trollbeads has become a worldwide phenomenon, offering limitless opportunities for collectors.
1936 Goldsmith, Svend Nielsen starts his own business in Copenhagen, becoming one of the five first goldsmiths in Denmark to adopt the American technique of centrifugal casting, the technique which gave birth to Trollbeads.
1976 Svend’s son, Soren, a silversmith, creates the first silver cast beads to be strung on a leather necklace. Known as Trollpearls, these beads are named after the troll faces depicted on the very first bead.
1987 Lise Aagaard, Svend’s daughter, opens her own jewellery store in Copenhagen and launches the concept of Trollbeads as a collection of individually designed bead jewellery.
Inspired by the response and enthusiasm of her customers, she introduces names and stories for each bead, creating additional fun, new gold and silver beads to expand the range.
1997 Lise begins working with glass and introduces vibrant, creative and colourful additions to the Trollbeads gold and silver collections.
