Trollbeads Easter & Mother's Day 2013 release sneak peek

Thank you Sherlock!

Expected release date 29th 22nd of March!

The new collection will bring us:

• easter dangles (kit);
  
• flower and leaves silver bead;
  
• messenger bead (already shown);
  
• ruby rock - same price category as current production gemstones
  
• chicken ring - silver and glass.

Silvers and ruby rock look good. But what exactly is a ruby rock?
Easter dangles are great colors, but I'm not really into dangles.

My thought, too! Funny, I was just looking at 'bird rings' on etsy the other day. And a lot of them did have birds sitting upright, protruding well above the fingers. Seems dangerous---and no good with gloves!

If this seems like a rerelease, at least they did the right thing and made it easy to differentiate---the new one has five-petaled flowers, the old has six-petaled flowers.


Thanks, Smaug and Sherlock!

While most of you may laugh at the chicken ring, I think it's wonderful... You see before I knew of Trollbeads, I knew of Lise Aagaard because that same exact ring was published in a book I own called 1000 Glass Beads (ISBN# 9781579904586, Lark Books, 2005)
Page 160 is that exact ring with the caption:
LISE AAGAARD
Chicken Ring 2000
Lampworked, sculpted, sterling silver (lost wax technique)
and this comment from her: "In my work I always try to combine glass with silver or gold-to make my work distinctive-and I don't mind a bit of humor."

So this ring is actually 13 years old, LOL.

I was so excited to see the dangles that I completely forgot to THANK YOU for this sneek peak sherlock and Sita!

You really colored up this grey day here!

All are lovely beads - love that chicken ring too! Thanks so much Sherlock and Smaug for letting us see a sneak peak of the Mother's Day and Easter collections

can you make a copy of the page ?? in 1000 glass beads?

Love flowers and leaves!

sorry i cannot get the file any smaller-it is an entire page in the book, when i reduce it, you cannot read it.
I was able to put it in my personal gallery, but can't get it here. If you can see my gallery, it's there.

Thank you Mrinn for this interesting background info! I just noticed your comment on our facebook page. I like a bit of fun too, and while this ring might turn out not to be a big seller the fact TB is trying to do something different always appeals to me.

A new old ring Thank you for sharing this!

Many thanks Sherlock and Smaug for the scoop! Flower and leaves is amazing, may need multiples of it!

Mrinn, that is very interesting about the chicken ring, thank you for sharing. I would love to see that page:)

Added! Thank you Mrinn!

Wow, TFS Sherlock and Sita!
The silvers look great, can't wait to see them IRL and take them home.

Hopefully we will have a better choice of Easter Eggs in terms of the designs and the colors. And it better not be such a disaster like the X-Mas dangles (in terms of being able to get them).

The chicken ring is very funny, don't think this will make it to the collection to be honest.

But the chick is cute - looks like sanded glass on Mrinn's photo

I love the flower bead and ruby rock x Very pleased with these x

I like the silvers and the ruby rock.

And I'm quite sure I won't buy the chicken ring

it is a lovely design but i would be afraid to wear it ..

Thanks Sherlock! Wow I love all of them and didn't expect this. I did not feel much for the spring collection but I love those

Tinka !!

Thanks Sherlock and Smaug !!


BTW : What is the difference between the last Ruby and this Rock Ruby ??

I bet the ruby rock has more rock than ruby. lol

Thanks for the sneak peak. I like the silvers and the ruby rock. May need multiples of the flower bead.
The ring is interesting. May be cute IRL but probably not for me. I am afraid I would break the chick off quickly. I am always bumping my rings and bracelets.

Love the Easter Dangles, and that Chicken ring is too cute for words.................................

Maybe if we all get a chicken ring we can more easily identify each other when out in public and we can talk TrollBeads !!!

Thanks for the sneak peak!
