Trollbeads Christmas 2012 release pictures

OMG I love the gold/diamond bead... If I ever win the lottery, may be my first purchase...

Thanks, Swisstroll, for posting the comparison photos. The ornament is now worth pursuing. I am fairly upset, though, that the promotion pictures show such lovely examples. The online availabilities are fairly poor IMO. I cannot believe that no one else is balking! I really, really want the black and white example with the turquoise dot. I do like the blue and white swirl one, but I want to save my bucks for the bead I really want.

Gorgeous bracelet, swisstroll!
You make them look so tempting!!!

Swisstroll thank you for the real life photo of all your Christmas beads! Your bracelet is beautiful! The bougainvillea looks like it only has flowers on one side. Does the flower side tend to sit on the bottom? I love the two ornament dangles that you chose-- so pretty!! The black/gold glitter one appears to be quite unique as I haven't seen it anywhere else online! Congrats on your pretty beads.

Hello merrygold, thank you! The flowers really are only on one side and the flower side tend to turn but I love to see this bead from everyside!

Thanks Swisstroll! The bead is indeed beautiful! It is more elegant than the baby's breath spacer. I'm still deciding on my Christmas purchase but the bougainvillea is definitely on my list.

Cool beads! I like a few of them but I don't think I will be buying any at the moment, unfortunately

Are the Christmas beads limited?

Lovely bracelet swisstroll!

Only the glass and the dangly glass ornament beads.

I had a look at some of the Christmas beads IRL today. The Ice blue Diamond bead is stunning, a must have for me (such a Magpie) and I was pleasently surprised by the bangle. I loved teh idea but wasn't convinced the stoppers would be secure enough. However I tried it with both the new stoppers from the shop and my four year old stoppers which are quite loose on my chain and they were both rock solid. I couldnt' tell the difference. I really liked the look of it on and it will be wonderfuly classy with a few beads for a special night and a definate boost in the Summer when it is too hot to wear full bracleets.

I wasn't so excited by the available silvers but they didn't have the Christmas Tree or Snowflake which I really wanted a closer look at or the Bougainvillea.

I've seen a few at my LD's. They neither did take the red set nor the dangles.
The Bougainvillea is such a pretty bead (as long as you don't mind it hanging upside down) and the black and gold set is absolutely stunning.
The winterberry is lovely (a nice medium size, although not a very new or innovative design) and I like the Christmas Rose too.
The others? I am not so very impressed: some looked rather lightweighted or flimsy, I don't wear hearts and the bangle seems a bit pricey to me.

I did get the new lock, Christmas tree, and glitter dot bead! I love, love, love the new lock! I will try to post pics soon

I just got the bracelet with the lock and the heart and the diamond bead, the prize for that set is great!
Had to try several locks though.
