With one look, it's easy to see why Trollbeads are so popular. They start with quality materials like 18kt gold, fine gemstones, silver, and artisan glass and are produced all over the world by skilled craftsmen. The company seeks out countries that have an inherent understanding for each product's particular needs. With this type of approach, the joyous beads are created where the strongest and most skilled artisans are. This results in an impressively large selection of unique and fashionable beads. At Gemstone Creations we have many different types of beads including fairytale, animals, symbols, precious stone, and glass beads in all the colors of the rainbow. Trollbeads creates jewelry for your beads, too, like bracelets, pendants, and earrings. The first Trollbead was made by Søren Sølvsmed in Copenhagen, Denmark. He started Trollbeads in 1976 by creating the initial bead back when it was trendy to wear a silver ball around your neck on a leather strap. Søren wanted to make a bead that didn't look like anything that had ever been made before. Therefore, he decided to buck the tradition of making a silver ball bead with human faces. Instead, he crafted his beads to NOT look human. The bead featured six different troll faces all around it (hence the name "Troll") and that original bead is still in the collection today. Once people saw how fun and unique the bead was, they soon began requesting that Søren make customized beads. However, Trollbeads didn't really take off until 1981, when Lisa Aagaard opened her store and introduced her clients to Trollbeads. The rest is Trollbeads history! Since then, the buzz about these fun and fashionable beads has spread like wildfire. They're currently sold in more than 40 countries and have been featured in such magazines as Southern Living, Vogue, O: The Oprah Magazine, Lucky, Glamour, ELLE, Redbook, Lucky, Real Simple, InStyle, and Martha Stewart's Living! Trollbeads still remains a family business and continues to design new beads with customer feedback in mind. They have 18 internationally renowned designers and more than 600 different beads.
