I always get excited when a new release comes out but this one has me beyond excited. This is an outstanding reminder of why we all collect the ultimate bead brand in the world and it is why I am so proud to be a dealer of such a fine brand. Trollbeads has an authentic spirituality and this is unseen in any other brand and there is beauty to the artistic philosophy that dictates its bead releases.  The 2014 Autumn Trollbeads release has everything from great new silver beads to outstanding glass including a whole kit of faceted glass beads.* There is a new lock and are two new leather bracelet colors. There are also two new Precious Stone beads adding to their already deep offerings of incredible natural stone beads on offer. They have even offered us two new Fantasy Chain pendants. The chain below has all new beads on it and the new lock,the Spiritual Temples Lock.

The entire collection is based on the Eastern meets Nordic themes.  Through out the collection you will find wonders of Eastern Spirituality and Northern Woodland delights. Encompassing the Nordic woodlands are two new animal beads the Fawn Trollbead and the Little Bear Trollbead.  Two great new members to the Trollbeads animal family.

The Eastern Facet Kit, shown here has a wealth of new looks for us with hidden treasures deep inside each glass bead.  The facets highlight the designs and show them to us through many tiny fractured surfaces. As with all the glass Trollbeads kits when you purchase glass beads in kit form you get a free bead.  So when you buy this kit of 6 beads the price is $280.  You will save $56.00 and all of these beads will be excellent additions to your collection! The other glass kit that has come out with this collection is the Northern Forest Kit.  If you purchase this kit you will save $34.00. The colors are rich and vibrant and will be fun to work with in so many Trollbeads designs.

The two new Precious Stone beads are definitely worth seeing and I can't decide now which one I will like better! The Brown/Yellow Chalcedony Faceted stone is organic and warm and each one will be totally unique.  This will be a great addition to my "Trollbeads With A Twist" category where I photograph and list each bead so you can see what you are buying!  The Lapis Lazuli Faceted stone bead is a rich blue and so many of us Trollbeads collectors love blue!  Definitely click on the link and see them!

Along the Eastern Spirituality theme the Trollbeads designers have given us two new Fantasy pendants and one that can be worn in two directions, up or down! As shown below! Look at the Giant Lotus Pendant and make sure it is on your "must have" list.  Look how creative you can get with this new Trollbeads Fantasy Necklace Pendant!  I am looking forward to experimenting with one when they come in!

My first blog of the new year is really about the very exciting year we have ahead of us.  There are so many great beads coming our way and from my position I don't even know where to start. Ok, the bead released today (1-10) shown on the chain to the left is a great place to start.

The "Be My Valentine" bead is a great new limited edition bead which is actually ground breaking in that each bead has 4 tiny copper hearts sunk with in the top layer of glass.  It is also a great natural addition to the line as it will go so well with all the Aurora beads released in 2013. I have already added it to our "Trollbeads With a Twist" category which is Trollbeads Gallery's special category where you are buying the actual bead listed. New bead sell quickly in this category but I will try to replenish quickly when each one sells!

The next limited edition beads will be available at our "Spring 2014 Launch Event" which is to held January 24, 25 26th.  The 2014 Spring Collection is now on-line to see and pre-order but if you spend $150 on the new beads you can purchase the brand new "Pink and Orange Aramadillo" for $31.00 or the very exciting "Eternal Love" barrel style glass bead for $63.00 as shown below!

The "Spring 2014 Launch Event" is an event created to, at this point in time, temporarily take the place of the Trunk show as we knew it. The future of the U.S. style of specials is going through transition and the final plan is still on the drawing board so stay tuned.

The term "Trunk Show" was always a misnomer in it's use for the Trollbeads events but it was what people were used to as it had been used for years in other jewelry brands.  It's typically when a brand brings in "trunks" of inventory for customers to purchase or order from just for that event. With Trollbeads it became a competitive "give away" and it created enormous work for the company and for the retailers while adding to the brand's lack luster appeal when there wasn't a trunk show.  There are many retailers that couldn't afford the drop in margins and in the process we lost retailers that couldn't compete in this manner and this was bad for Trollbeads as well as the retailers.  That may seem unimportant to the collector that wants to buy multiple beads at a lower price but in the long run it was taking away value from the brand. If you follow that further it would lead to the devaluing of your valuable collection. So let's look forward to future events and see it all unfold for all of us -the collectors and the dealers who bring Trollbeads to you.

Three NEW "X" Links for Valentine's Day have been released and they are wonderful!!!!

From left to right:

 Love Bubble (as in cartoon bubble) Struck by Love  and  Love Bugs.  Great additions to X!

So stay the course with us through this upcoming spectacular 2014 Spring release and we will all see what the future brings.  As with all change the going may seem tough but the beads are getting more beautiful with each release and in the long run that is what a collector should concern themselves with. If you hold your love of Trollbeads in your heart just know that great things are happening.

My next blog will be about the new 2014 Spring Collection due out on the 24th.  You can see it and pre-order it now but keep in mind we will be shipping on January 24th.  There truly are sensational beads in this collection.  Thank you Trollbeads.
