Trollbeads Spring 2013 release details

Thanks so much for the sneak peak! I like the elderflowers and maybe some of the glass, have to see it IRL first.

I believe the pinkish Valentine dangle is actually called purple in the official TB description.


The Breakfast Bead----seems like another "life event". The morning after the one-night stand?

Wouldn't a one-night stand be a good excuse to buy a bead to feel better afterwords (for what reason ever)?

Oh good god!!!

And I'm wondering, how the Big Butterfly looks in the middle of a bangle!

Uhhh, yes you are right, if the big butterfly will stay in the middle and the stoppers can keep it there

Or you will need the old spacer beads to be after the wings.

I like the Elderflowers, both of them but the rest I'll have to see irl before deciding. They still look childish to me. To have a designer that makes a gorgeous Seahorse and let him go and then make those makes me sad. But perhaps I'll like them when I see them? :S
I think the Big Butterfly would look great on the new bangle. Argh!!!

Have just seen the lilac/purple dangle - so beautiful
Will have to keep in mind, that I wear neither hearts nor dangles (normally) and don't buy things I won't wear!
From the pic I'd say it may be perfect with retired lilac ribbon

After carefully considering the expression on his face.....it MUST be a thermometer NOT a cigarette......poor thing is ILL!!

I quite like the purple dangle. Reminds me of the retired Lila ribbon bead. And it sort of reminds me of a perfume bottle and perfumes are another of my guilty pleasures.

Yeah me too aprilshack....I love purple! I have a pandora double leather in purple (which I love) but I'd trade it in for a trollbeads one

I have the single purple pandora leather & I love it!

Great job in getting us all these fantastic preview pix!

The silvers range from appalling to meh except for the silver Sea Urchin and the Elderflowers and possibly the starfish. The butterfly is way too huge for me but I bet it doesn't flip over!

My glass list is longer:

the beige Moonstone bud and possibly even the orange colorway
the coral stripes if it isn't too bright
the tricolor orangey blossoms
the dendritic agate

Until seen IRL I can't tell if the Rocky Beach kit is stunning or too muddy.

The chocolate/cherry leather may be wonderful and possibly even the toffee/cream leather.

All in all the release is a happy combination of beads I want and ones I am grateful I won't need the money to buy

Oh I see - he has man flu! Surprised he got out of bed for Breakfast. She must have forced him.

So much for my beads anonymous subscription!
Can't say the silvers are my cuppa but, that Rocky Beach kit looks mighty interesting!

Give the sunglasses a chance! It is vintage and sassy. Will I buy it? Probably not...or many years from now when it retires because there are other priority beads.

I like the Valentine dangle. Let's hope this is easier to get than the selective Christmas ornaments. What a turn off!!!

The large butterfly looks great! I would definitely want to try before I buy, as it would only be on a bracelet. It is a real eye grabber. People will notice that on the wrist for sure.

I am not into the seashore theme, thank goodness!

I am sure some of the production beads will be great additions.

The Seahorse lock is delightful, as are the silver beads that would be nice along with it, especially Starfish.

I would have thought breakfast would be a little pan with an egg and a croissant on the side. I am still trying to see what TB was trying to do there.

Butterfly is nice (really made for necklace?) but I can see being able to buy a butterfly piece of jewelry anywhere.

I am with the group of folks who would like a real rabbit with long ears etc. But for now, will stick with my tortoise/hare bead.

I wonder if TB headquarters is able to read this?

I'd be surprised if they don't come on here.

Maybe they see the DSM crowd as potential customers and are trying to draw them in? (I am sure we have a smiley with a little whip somewhere here. Can't seem to find it.)

Oh here it is.



and maybe some of this too?

Maybe in the autumn release a silver 'fried eggs with bacon bead'??

But, you must admit, that at TB HQ they sure want to keep the family together

Of all of the many life events I'd love to have immortalised in silver having breakfast has never been one!
