Trollbeads Spring 2013 release details

I have heard that the prices on all uk beads are going down every group. Is this corect?

I have seen the new beads too. Very small silvers in groups 1 and 2. In fact all the silvers look like they should be priced at least 1 group lower (with a new £15 price being invented for what they are now calling group 1). The Rocky Beach were the large end of medium sized but not offensively big. Some of the other kit were larger. The Rocky Beach was paler than I expected.

Does anyone know what is happening to UK pricing ?

(Sorry BB, couldn't work out if that's what you think they should be doing or what they are doing )

I just bought my valentine dangle but the color is not exactly the same as what we expect. The red ball looks to be totaly red with flowers on.

Corallie, can you post a picture? Is there no ribbon in the glass?

I just came home from Trollshopping and saw several of the valentine-dangles and have to totaly agree with Coralie, the bulbs of both colors aren't so clear as shown in the TB pics, this made them look "heavier", I was disapointed and didn't buy one!

well i am not sure i am autorised to do it cause the seller made it to me to help me to make my choice. Well i will modify the picture with paint and show you the one i choosed and an other to compare

I purchased the left one. Well on the right we can see different colors on the ball... so i don't know. They are some in lighter red.

TFS ¨

The ones I saw were more bordeaux dark red than bright red.

I went to another shop today to see the new agate - and they did not get the new beads until next week

The seller just said to me that she made a mistake cause she had to wait the 1 february to sell them...

For me spring 2013 started today.

When I saw the preview, I was very delighted about the rocky beach kit, after having seen some IRL pics I was confused and didn't know to like or dislike them. I was in 4 several shops and have to say, the variety is endless, I found these for me, together with the silvers I liked and the new stone:







I wanted to buy me also the clasp with the seahorse, but when I saw it, I was afraid, that it couldn't keep a whole bracelet, it was so tiny, so I let it.

Instead I bought the elder flower, it's a real heavy bead and I love it and the pendant is gorgeous to, but has to wait until next month because I came across some OOAK's:



The butterfly was also on my wishlist, but I "deleted" it after seeing it, it's much to big for me and I don't wear necklaces very often.

Well done on finding all those lovely 'Small and Beautiful' type beads Swisstroll. The Rocky Beach glass are super too.

beautiful beads you've chosen!
wonder which of the Swiss shops carry the small and beautiful beads?

Thanks for sharing Coralie. I'm very worried now because I want the liac one, but only if the ribbon is prominent.

We are having a snow storm here, so no bead shopping for me today! Plus, I think I promised myself not to buy beads until at least Mother's Day.

Lovely new beads Swisstroll!

The Valentines dangle was red (the shop that I visited only had one), the purple one was very pale.

I haven't bought anything, I love the flowerbead, so I'm going to save for that one.

Lots of lovely beads Swisstroll ! you have been having fun !

I am disappointed. We were let out of school early because of an impending storm. I decided seeing the new beads was more important than getting home safely (not a flake in the sky BTW) and went to the mall. The TB kiosk was abandoned and no new beads were in sight. I waited for awhile and then came home. Guess I'll brave the snow another day. Ugh... delayed gratification!

I bit the bullet and ordered the rocky beach kit today! They look really neat and I can't wait to work a combo around them.

I am thinking the May one.

I am thinking that I can spare another $93...ooooh, so tempting.

And what would you get for your $93?

I got a Fossils bead that is orangey and very like Swisstroll's, a Beige Moonstone and a Stone Flower. Still wanting a silver Urchin and the Elderflowers.

I've seen Fossils that were orange and some that were pinky-purplish. The Pebbles and Fossils are really beads you want to pick out in person if at all possible! Actually the same goes for all of the Rocky Beach kit.

Switroll, that is real shopping!!! Lovely choiches

4 awesome beads from the Rocky Beach kit. On Trollbeads Studio FB page, someone got a Pebble bead that was mostly opal-ish, instead of boldly pink. I LOVE that. Out of the RB kit, I thought the Pebble bead was out of place and kind-of ugly...but not this variation. Oooh, la la. I am so bad.

I went and peeked at your opal Pebbles bead and now I need one of those!

The fuchsia Pebbles seems off to me, too, when combined with the other Rocky Beach beads, but it wouldn't exactly combine well with the average bright pink TB . . . I'm going to keep an eye out for a pinky-purple Fossils and use that with the pinky Pebbles.

These new bumpy beads are just fabulous! I love the iridescence on the base of the Fossils bead!
