what is this bead called?

it looks like the white flower, but has zirconia inside? I haven't been keeping up-to-date with troll news...

either way, it was an unexpected gift from FI, and he was so great today! he took me to a trollbead store (first one since coming to HK), spent an hour or so patiently watching me examine each and every bead, and in the end he chose this one for me since I couldn't decide, and when I reached for my wallet he quickly whipped out his card, saying since he picked it he should get the honor of paying. hehehee, he doesn't know how dangerous this could get! and he was so cute, he noticed a flyer with a list of ALL the trollbead locations in hong kong, and quickly handed it to me. as we were leaving, he asked me if I had the flyer! as if I needed reminding, but what a cute gesture.

the store we went to today was not the main store of hong kong, but it was plenty big, lots of choices (SO MUCH MORE than I ever had in Canada), and the sales people were both soooo nice and knowledgeable. one of them had been a serious collector for over 8 years!! they had a promotion going on, where if you bought a white flower and the re-released joyful bead they threw in a free onyx bead. but comparing the re-released joyful to the old, original one (salesperson had one on her wrist!), it was just so coarse! but I had a lot of fun looking at all the new beads, the easter eggs, the HK world tour... we almost went for the skyline bead but it didn't match any of my other beads. <__<

ANYWAY, lots of fun over a single little bead! and that's why I love trollbeads!

It is one of the Limited Edition 'Diamond' White Flowers.

Minky! I was just asking the other day about you! I'm glad you're back in troll-land. I hope you're settling into Hong Kong easily. So good to see you here again.

What a lovely bead. Looks gorgeous x

it is some beautiful beads you have.

Sounds like you had a fabulous time in the Trollbeads shop and came home with a lovely bead!

Awsome bead!!! The pics are fabulous! Glad you had fun troll shopping!!!

thanks for helping me figure that out! yep, definitely a white diamond flower. but these came out last summer--she still had the full set, and many extras! the site says they're LE--seems like they're still quite abundant, a whole year later.
