Hi Chelsea

I rec’d my play tray today and I love it. It is going to come in very handy. I am sending you a picture of the first bracelet I made using my tray.

Thank you so much for the wonderful service.

No more Pandora

June 11th, 2009

Cartwright Jewelers will no longer be carrying Pandora Beads.   We have been told by Pandora that we are not allowed to carry both Pandora beads and Trollbeads.  We love our Trollbeads and we love the Canadian supplier that we deal with.  It is very unfortunate that we have been given this ultimatum, but we have chosen Trollbeads.   For the local collectors we will be liquidating all of our Pandora stock at buy 1 get one free until quantities last.   To our Trollies, this means that we have more space for more Trollbeads!

Trollbeads Fantasy Necklaces

June 8th, 2009

The Fantasy necklace is a unique addition to the Trollbeads line.  The Fantasy necklace is formed from a closed loop chain, with a large, freshwater pearl or whimsical fairy on the end to anchor beads above.  This lovely necklace can be worn in a myriad of ways from very simply stringing beads on to the chain to adding a pendant for visual interest.  As yet another means for enhancing your collection of Trollbeads, all of the glass beads and nearly every silver and gold bead in the Trollbeads collection may be strung onto the chain.  

A glass bead may be featured in the centre of the Big Cross or the Ballerinas pendant.  The innovative design of the Climbing Hydrangea, Rose and Crystal Triangles pendants allow the chain to be doubled up, drawn through the centre of the pendant and finished with a clasp.   When strung with beads and a Fantasy pendant, the necklace may be configured with endless creations.  
Trollie’s are limited only by their creativity and imagination.  Every Fantasy necklae is as unique as the person who creates it.

People’s Bead – My bead was not chosen :(

June 2nd, 2009

Dear Trollbeads friend

Thank you, thank you and thank you for playing along in People’s Bead 2009! Words can not explain how exciting it has been seeing all the different ideas from everybody all over the world and it was lovely to see how much time, effort and creativity everyone put into their entries.

After making beads for more than 30 years, the first many years only within the family and the last 9 years with extern designers, it has been an adventure to study the suggestions coming in one by one. Most of the suggestions we have thought of making a thousand times –and some of them we really have made – but there were also some that we never thought of, very creative brilliant ideas that didn’t make the final so don’t be surprised if you hear from us one day.

Although your bead was not chosen as one of our finalists, I would like to sincerely thank you for taking the time to submit your design.

From the thousands of entries we received we managed to select our top ten favourites. Now it’s up to you to pick the winner by voting for your favourite at www.peoplesbead.com

The finalists have been selected based on a number of factors. Originality of course; but just as much the brilliant idea, image/sculpture quality and fabulous text. Not all finalists cover all of these but we trust that you will study closely and make your choice based on your desire. We have thrived to have a bead for everyone; a serious, a not so serious, a spiritual, an ‘empowerer’, a sweet, a personal, a worldly, a not so worldly and so on. ……and of course also one ‘the unexpected’.

The diversity in the finalist was important for us because that is what Trollbeads is all about.

Don’t forget that as a thank you for taking part in People’s Bead 2009 we will be sending you a copy of the winning bead when it is released in August so make sure you vote for a bead that you actually want to receive.

I’m looking forward to seeing what you, the people, choose as your People’s Bead!

 

Best wishes,

Lise Aagaard
