The blue glass and stones look fabulous...The 3 bottom silvers..ughhh...Thank you Sherlock

Just to add...I know some Trollies hate beads with buds but those on the blue look amazing..Rainbow Moonstones?

Thank you Sherlock!

The blue ones look very interresting to me, I wonder how much they look different IRL and how much they vary from bead to bead! The blue seems to be very different from the other blues of the produktion beads.

The read dillo looks stunning!


Does someone know already the names of the beads?

Thanks Sherlock - you did a great job! I really looking forward to see the blue muranos in person and I hope it is a dark blue - not to gaudy

Thanks so very much - blue glass and stones for me too.

Thank you Sherlock,
maybe one of the beige beads, and one red Dillo, none of the stones, the bleu I don't like, and the Red is orange most of the time, the Silver is completely useless,
the Family Stuff and MarryMe Nonsense...

I am not impressed at all, usually the fall collection was beautiful, this time it is completely unimaginative,



nothing for me...sorry

Wow! Thank you so much Sherlock - I love the two glass kits best, they look stunning!

The Blue kit is gorgeous and I like the Coral one too (it will give more scope to use the extant coral beads). I always like to see more stones and the silvers are intriguing. I love the dancing couple. I see what they are doing with the proposal one and the family one. Clearly going for the gift market with those.

I sympathise with Troll, although I prefer the artsy, quirky and abstract silver beads it is quite obvious to me that the major share of the market prefers other things. All the beads which retired and I was gutted about are still available a year on and at sale prices, ergo I don't like what most people like. Troll seem to be sticking to their in-house style whilst also trying to grab the section of the market which buys beads to represent things which have happened to them (as oppoed to me who buys them not for any sentimental "meaning" but for their artistry).

50 Shades of Grey () outsells Dostoyevsky by a factor of ... what?. In a time of economic crisis you've got to produce what you think will sell.

I must say that the blue kit reminds me a lot of beads that have already been made by Christa Keizer (Luccicare). I already have 3 of her beads that appear to be more interesting versions of the dark blue Trollbeads but I don't mind adding a few more to them.

Bead names added...

Ooh...Love the stones!

Wow, thanks so much! So many amazing beads!

The dragon silver doesn't look too bad but some of the other creatures look like they have been blown up like balloons. Maybe they will burst?

I thought that BBelle, very Christa like the blue...and the stony beige, I have some very similar too!
I'm excited about the stones and I might need a dragon, even though I'm a rooster, because I like his face

Thanks everso for the piccies

Thank you Sherlock And love the Blues & red Dillo

And she has an Old Earth style bead, swings and roundabouts.

Thank you for the sneak! I like the glasses and the stones but I'm not feeling the silvers.. must digest.

Absolutely. Nothing new under the sun.

Sherlock you are the best !

As I love all sorts of red and orange, I'm going to buy the dillo and the bubbles. And that's it.

Oh well, I forgot about the cardbead, That one is coming my way too.

The others are not on my wishlist (yet)

I agree entirely. I have a Christa bead that is exactly like Cozy and the others in that kit are similar to others I've seen of hers too.

None of the silvers appeal at all but I do like the gemstones.

Many thanks to Sherlock and Sita for the excellent preview.

I quite like the faceted stones, the blue glass kit and the some of the zodiac silvers, but I'm not crazy about them. I don't feel the need to buy them straight away. I wonder how big the silvers are going to be. They don't look very big, but are in a higher price group (also in a higher price group then the other zodiac beads).
