For 30 years now, fashionistas and jewelry collectors have witnessed the unprecedented rise of trollbead jewelries that has a unique storyline and theme to each of them like animals, fairytales, etc.

And if this is your first time dabbling with this jewelry that the world is going crazy about, a quick glance at the internet will show you which trollbead bracelets or jewelry fit your personality and taste.

It was back in Denmark, 1976 when it this trend was started by Soren Nielson. Nielson created the first trollbead jewelry - a silver one, and used a wax model for it PLUS bored a hole, making it possible to bind similar beads together. Eventually, this first-ever sterling silver trollbead was known as “The Mask”.

After four years, thanks to Lisa Aagaard’s efforts, she started exploring all the possibilities on how to create trollbead jewelry using various materials. This resulted to the first glass trollbeads which captured the interest of the world in an instant in 2002.

Every year, technology advances. And that could only mean we can look forward to better-looking, detail-rich, and MORE unique trollbead jewelries in a not-so-distant future.

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.

The silver trollbead started it all in 1976. With lots of years under its belt, many designs, shapes, and sizes have cropped up for the silver trollbeads department. And just like its gold counterpart, many mythical and fairy tale-like characters are added to its storyline and theme.

Trollbead Jewelry 7- Trollbead Bracelets

On the other hand, trollbead bracelets can be availed as beads and chains you MUST bind together OR if you don’t want to spend time doing so; you can grab a completed set. The charms you can use only fit on necklaces and bracelets. ON the other hand, the chain can come in gold, silver, or leather whichever you prefer.
