Trend outlook for 2012

When reading the magazines I found these articles (again) to share:

About the Trollbeads 2012 outlook: http://www.professionaljeweller.com/article-10628-trollbeads-to-reveal-ss12-lines-at-jewellery-show/

Additionally a trend outlook on JCK: http://www.jckonline.com/blogs/style-360/2011/12/27/12-jewelry-trends-2012

From which these seemed interesting for those wearing earrings (don't know if they fit though): http://tresorcollection.com/products.asp?product_id=TI10302&q1=INTERCHANGEABLE%20&q2=EARRINGS&p=1

They look pretty, heavy, but beautiful.

"It will also show a wider selection of exclusive Trollbeads"

Hmmm.... I'm not sure what that means, but definately it sounds expensive!!!

More LEs ? I hope not.

I think it means they are gonna cut lose with more retireds????

nice earrings.. very bling bling, mmmm jewelry show, I went last time it was quite interesting.

I'm not sure how I'd feel about that....

But, I don't think they would remake them, and I am sure they must have exhasuted the dusty corners at TB HQ by now

Maybe there will be more very limited LEs? Like the gemstones and LE Christmas beads?

As much as I would love to get my hands on some of the old retireds (stripe, classic, bead of prophecy to name a few ) I don't think that is is a great marketing strategy, as there are relatively few collectors in the grand scheme of their target market who care enough to want them.

I'd rather limited editions instead of re-releases of retired beads!

I want a crane!!!!!!!!!!

Soxfan,
You are so lucky with beads that I am positive you will find one at a ridiculously low price eventually.

Now I wouldn't mind a totally new style crane bead!
