It's the larger cores that don't hang quite right when mixed with regular cores, that turns me off.

I would prefer not to have to suffer that either but I just hate beads that stick out too far. They look gross!!!

I'm a fan of asymmetry.
I like glass of different sizes on a bracelet.
Sometimes I select the hugest bead, sometimes the smallest.

Ahhhhggg no UU

I am bein hope that the UU they seem are the test run beads so the CC is beutiful beads. .
like christmas ooak beads

I find that lots of UUs have the wrong proportions. Their diameter has been increased but not their width as viewed on the bracelet. They are big skinny beads. That is what I dislike. I had already ruled out at least 2 of the Rocky Beach set for that reason and now I understand why.

Can it be found out the information on the core size now?
I dont get my information this release yet.

AHHHH!!! Summer, how I miss thee so. Some interesting things with this release. Love the butterfly and the starfish! Thanks soo... much Smaug for this sneak peek.

Oh vileness - I am already contemplating giving up Trollbeads forever.

My top three favorites:

Love, Love the butterfyly
the pink dangle valentine
the house...

Well the price is glass 1 price each ... so I would think that if UU are more than glass 1 we should be safe to believe these will be cc ... That is just my impression though, they could also be introducing UU production beads at glass 1 prices .. this I don't know

That is somewhat reassuring.

Maybe that is the reason for the two tone leathers, they may be thicker and better to suit the UU??? My only hope is that if they are UU they are not HUGE glass beads, the core size doesn't bother me so much as the glass size. I have learned to graduate my UU and CC on my combos so that I am happy with the look, but some of the glass is just way to big!

I really don't enjoy being forced to select and sequence the beads on my bracelet to balance out oversized ones. I am trying to get rid of them rather than get more. I won't buy these if they are over 15mm diameter.

Would they really make just UU's? I don't think so. More than 15mm is a no-go for me, I don't like it and I won't buy it.

UU core oh no!!!!! Please say it ain't so....

Thank you so much for the pictures!!
Some beads are so beautiful!
I think the stone is a "must-have"

But what about the silvers then? Some seem usual small core... that won't work on thicker leathers, not if you'd like to wear the theme's silver beads with the UU glass.

This I am thinking about. The 2 cores systems dont integrate so well across the bead range. I use the old spacers and nots on my leather so if the new leather is thick I can not do this ether if i want 2 core sizes on one.
My idea is to have UU in a seperate range not in classic TB range. and cute tb in another range

Shown my husband the pic of the breakfast bead.The first thing he said "are they being sick?" I think the guy is wearing a stethoscope?

If there are UU in the production releases is the end of Trollbeads for me!!! I wont NEVER buying UUs! If I have to buy large cores I'm running to cheaper and beautiful artisan beads! No UU for me, NEVER!

I often wear both core sizes mixed together and have no issues. I have some small core beads that are large size glass and some large core that are quite as big. The large core also works well on the necklaces and on other brand bracelets. I like the chamilia double wrap leather (easier to use than the troll leather ) and love the pandora black colored sterling silver bracelet. Its great to be able to but troll glass on it.

I would love to see them, pretty please!

I have this thing about dolphins ... but these look too cute and girly even for my taste.

Is the old dolphin bead being retired? (I think I like it better than the new one, too.)

We don't know if the old dolphin bead is being retired, but it would make sense.

Just saw all of the pics. Wow, love the dark beads. I'm afraid I'm going to like the crazy lacey butterfly too. Cha-Ching, Cha-Ching, Cha-Ching.

There are a few things there that look interesting to me, although I wish they would have released more abstract design silvers like the old troll silvers... I guess I will have to start hunting for the old ones. I like the look of the happy summer glass - light and breezy, and will be easy to match with I think. I was very interested in the rocky beach kit until I realised it was UU!! I'm looking forward to more pics of the two tone leathers. The yellow one looks so bright and happy, I bet it would be fun to wear in summer even without beads. It's summer here now, so I'm enjoying seeing the summery colours after all the snowflake and ice beads lately!

To the people who have mentioned the leather bracelets being "stuck together" - aren't the normal troll leathers stuck together anyway? I have one and it certainly looks like it has two layers to me.
