It all started in Denmark - around 1976. Soren Nielson crafted a small pearl made of sterling silver using a wax model and this became silver pearl was known as "The Mask". He bored a hole into the silver troll bead and the idea of putting beads together through the holes was born.

Four years later - 1980's, an apprenticeship on making different trollbead bracelets and jewelry was startedall thanks to Lisa Aagaard's efforts. Lisa started to experiment with different materials that a trollbead jewelry could be made from and she ended up with the first glass trollbeads which took the world by storm in 2002.

Let's have a look at some of the trollbeads that you need to familiarize yourself with if you want to be a full-time collector of these wonderful pieces of jewelry

Trollbead Jewelry 1 - Glass Trollbeads

This was first created in the 1980's by Lise Aagaard. HOWEVER, the complexity of making designs with full detail made it quite impossible to release it earlier until the 1990's.

But the good thing is - you can now actually choose from different varieties of trollbeads, each having their own designs and colors. Simply put, you can always have the one that suits your flavor.

Trollbead Jewelry 2 - Gold Trollbeads

Gold trollbeads' designs range from animal-like, fairy tale characters, or just nonfigurative shapes. They go very well with glass trollbeads making it possible for you to create your own ideas for the necklace or bracelet.

Trollbead Jewelry 3 - Letter Trollbeads

As the name says, there's a letter picked from the alphabet that's built in the design of the letter trollbeads. You can buy separate beads that make up your name or initialsand in my book, that sounds like a great way to personalize your necklace and bracelet.

Trollbead Jewelry 4 - OOAK Trollbeads

OOAK Trollbeads that are created by bare hands are completely unique from the rest.

What makes them unique is that most of them were earlier designs that were discarded because it was quite different from how it was wanted. As a result, they were even valued so much.

Trollbead Jewelry 5 - Retired Trollbeads

Trollbead Jewelry 7- Trollbead Bracelets

Trollbead bracelets can be bought as a chain that needs to be fitted together or as a complete set of charms formed in a bracelet. The charms for trollbeads only fit in necklaces and braceletswhile the chains can come as gold, silver, or even leather according to your preference.

Trollbead Jewelry 8 - Trollbead Clasps

Coming in either gold or silver, trollbead clasps are made in a way that allows you to remove and reorganize them.

It comes in various patterns like animals, flowers, etc. BUT if you prefer plain trollbeads, it would be just fine.

One thing is for sure, more designs and variations of trollbeads will come out. BUT it will still be the best gift you can give to your loved ones or even as a treat for yourself.
