Universal Core Diamond Beads

They're here indeed!

Universal Uniques – The Diamond Bead


"Customers all over the world have expressed joy that they are now able to get the real Trollbeads glass bead quality on their bracelet – even though they own a bracelet from another major brand.
Now we bring them even more of a treat… One of our most popular glass beads – the Diamond Bead – will be made in black and white as Universal Uniques and will retail at $ US 63.00"

Just curious, is this the same retail price as the original Diamond beads?

Sigh...if TB really wanted to gain more customers, instead of changing THEIR whole line-up, they should just make a free bracelet and clasp with the purchase of a bead as a permanent offer.

And is the diamond bead really one of the most popular beads?

I'm sort of ticked off that I will have to worry about core sizes now when I purchase beads...usually I am too eager to pull the trigger to have to worry about such things!

Trolls-I am pretty sure that the diamond beads already retail for 63. Expensive!

No, No, NO

True Trollbead customers have expressed sadness that the brand they love and are loyal to wants to become common to all brands. One of our more popular glass beads will now be full of air and cost more.

That's what their marketing line should say. Sad times.

I always like the fact that I am the ONLY one wearing troll when I go out. Now EVERYONE will be wearing "my" brand. gross.

I wonder if the customers will be so pleased when they see the new price.
I will think that UU beads are not real Trollbeads soxfan they are just beads made for other people.

'Customers all over the world have expressed joy that they are now able to get the real Trollbeads glass bead quality on their bracelet – even though they own a bracelet from another major brand.'

Bollocks, find me one.

If there were looking for Troll they would have bought sodding Troll in the first place.

Speaking to my ld today she pointed out that Pandora owners invalidate their warranty by putting any other brand on their bracelets.

I had heard that as well, a long time ago. Which is why I was surprised that Troll seems to be pandering to the other brands...

I do not like the big core... sadly tb wants to be like the other brands...
2 years ago i choose to collect trollbeads because they were unique, had a small core and they where NOT like other brands... but now everything is changing as it seems...

Me too! I agree that they should try to convert people by offering a free bracelet AND upgraded clasp with the purchase of a certain dollar amount in beads. All of the other brands beads fit on TB bracelets. Why not try to convert people instead of making loyal customers mad?!

And the only diamond bead I have is huge. I can't imagine how much larger one with a larger core would be!

They are gigantic....colossal....enormous... and more than oversized. I´ve seen two today and were were so terribly big. The size was about 18-19 mm. They looked like fantasy beads to me.

they can keep their monster beads, I certainly will not buy such beads...18-19mm

That is some thing to think of. A fantasy bead diamond if it will be fit on the chain ok.

Ugly. I would not want to spoil my pretty Pandora bracelet with its dainty little dangly silver charms by putting a huge glass Trollbead on it. It would look horrible and completely out of place. I am much more exclusive about Pandora than Trollbeads which I happily mix with artisan stuff.

I feel this is a sad day I certainly won't be buying any TB's with large cores.

$63.00 U.S.D. is the current price for the diamond beads so no increase for me, but as that is the same as the price of a faceted gemstone, I would rather have an Adventurine . . . Amethyst . . . Amazonite . . .

They can try and sell large core beads to other brand collectors if they want, just as long as they don't try to force me to buy any !

I personally can't see why pandora fans would even venture to troll as surely a real Collector would prefer to pay those prices for pandora charms or else they would get cheap alternatives not same or more expensive.

P.s my diamonds beads are large too, esp the pink one but I love them

Are your Diamond beads really as big as 18-19mm?

No idea lol...When brats are in bed I will measure

They can't be anything other than cubic zirconia or Swarovski crystals. How do they get away with calling them diamonds?

They are meant to be Swarovski (sp?) - it is very naughty to call them that.

My pink diamonds are quite big, 16mms, but my white diamond is adorable, no more than14mms. I would love another the same size, but most seem bigger
