Trollbeads Fall 2013 sneak peek

The whole collection
https://www.xbytrollbeads.com

The Troll obsession with hearts and teddies continues and the gold links are so expensive, but I do like the flower and the bronze links.
I think it is too chunky for me.

Thanks for the pics   

Actually I could like some of the links, but probably won't start with a new bracelet concept.
Not cheap to get an entire bracelet and a mix of silver/gold with the  black rubber may not be my cup of tea.

This is more appealing than I expected honestly.  I don't know if I would start collecting a new concept, however.  It may look really good stacked with the original, though.  I like that they already have so many link choices, but I am very disappointed by the gold prices, though that was to be expected from trollbeads.  I think they did the right thing by offering the bronze for those who cant afford the gold. I would love to see these in person.  This is my favorite so far. https://www.xbytrollbeads.com/da/kollektion/2015150005-dragen

Today is my birthday.  I wouldn't mind Trollbeads sending me a bracelet, and making me a guinea pig

While some of the individual links are nice designs, the concept as a whole does not appeal to me. It looks large and clunky. And the black rubber links just look cheap and tacky. I would not want to eke out a bracelet with the black links while working on collecting the more expensive ones, which means that I wouldn't be able to wear a bracelet until it was complete. I think I will give X a pass.

Oh poo, I was hoping to hate it but I don't

Me, too! But so many of the decorative links echo our trollbeads.

And some of those double links so easily could have been made as locks for us!

I wondered about that too... Anyway, I don't wear my chunky links anymore so I fear this is not for me.

Some of these charms are NICE AND BIG - just like I like 'em.
Very interesting, chains are big now.

Happy Birthday HeatherD - I hope you get good stuff!

Very true, LindaJo!  Some of the double links are nice designs.  I am rather digging the Harlequin pictured above.  And going over and perusing the website, I like the zodiac beads and some of the other designs too.  Just not enough to start collecting them.  But you're right - why not cool new locks for us, instead of the boring ones they've been coming out with lately?  

Some nice designs in there, pity some of the more recent tb designs weren't as well thought out as these.I would love a scorpion lock!

I like it more than I was thinking. I am wait to see what is the size and quality for this price.

Also i think any I can add to my trollbreads bracelet and very much the double leathers

Ok, some of these are nice. Some are really nice. And I could maybe see myself getting a bracelet that is mostly black, with just a few silvers so that the silvers popped. But I'd have to see the size.

I wish they had a solid bracelet that you could add silvers too. I might just experiment with something myself

That Ram's head where the links go through the horns - that's interesting.
As is the Lobster.
So MANY creative, detailed pieces!

Some of the silver link designs could have made beautiful locks. I think the whole collection is far more like the trollbeads we know and love than people expected. However I cannot make my mid up about the black rubber links.

I like this quite a bit more than I was expecting.

Sort of reminds me of the Italian charm bracelets from years ago, but at least the starter was cheap since it was steel!

I like it too more than I thought I would. I would love to see it in person. Right now it says there are 2 retailers in the U.S. both in Maryland which is nowhere near me.

As has been already said I like it way more then I expected! I think this is a great new direction for TB just wish it was a little more affordable.

I DO hate it. A mish mash of tat.

I really like some of it, the bronze links and chunky lock and the abstract designs. I don't like the animals or zodiacs.

The shop near my parents are going to stock it, would be great to choose irl.

There is a LD in my area, but it's not one of those I frequent.

I wonder if these are/will be available online?!

Oh, I live in DC metro area.  Close enough to take a trip to the Maryland shops.  I can judge in person.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, Monique
