Beach
Throat Chakra
Large Berry
A shimmering beach and the mild azure blue waves licking your feet – what more could you wish for?
This Trollbead, the fifth chakra, is related to communication and creativity. Here we experience the world symbolically through vibration, such as the vibration of sound representing language. This glass bead has within it 22 carat gold.
This large berry is beautiful when combined with smaller beads and looks especially good on a necklace.
Loving Light The relationship between humanity and God. The crosses represent faith in God, the heart represents God’s love and the star represents the light of God.
Rose Pendant Starting as a small baby bud, and before you know it, it is summer, and rose petals unfold in the most beautiful splendor.

Sandstone
Turquoise Prism
Coming from the ground, sandstone has been used as building material from ancient times to present day. Many temples and cathedrals are built of sandstone.
The purple in the glass is a perfect match for the turquoise bead. The two colours are in great harmony and yet seem to challenge each other in a dark and a lighter side. It is both feminine and masculine.
Snow Cool as ice, soft as snow. Its like a frosty morning when you wake up to the first snow, or snow falling softly to the ground in the light of a lamp post …

Søren Nielsen My first Trollbeads were designed with little faces and figures in sterling silver and strung on leather. Their intention was to tell a story and facilitate communication between people. More than 30 years have passed since I began and new Trollbeads keep coming. Trolls, stories, mythology and other cultures are often my inspiration.
When Søren is sitting at the burner and his thoughts are taking solid form in the wax between his hands it is happening completely naturally. Organic, flowing and suddenly surprising!

Kitten
For many spirituality is connected with the light. Light is the beginning and also the end. Sculptured clear glass accepts and returns all rays of lights. Just as our spirits.
According to an old legend the Christmas Rose sprouted and grew in the snow, from the tears of a young girl.
A lock full of marvel and fun. Mother and baby holding on to each other’s tail with their trunks; forming a strong chain. Elephants are strong and gracious animals, well fit for this new lock.
The trees bloom so elegantly – and the scent is wonderful. Here are the blue and purple flowers that gather in an airy and beautiful flower cloud.
There are few as playful and funny as the little kitten, that jumps at anything it can get a hold of with big eyes and a great eagerness. This is quite the little troublemaker.

Lise Aagaard Being from a family of jewelers I have had the lifelong privilege of being immersed in a constant learning environment of art, form, and material. Always facing the possibilities and boundaries of innovation from a professional point-of-view. I can honestly say that I am inspired by anything and everything. Diversity ignites my curiosity in life as well as in the worlds of metal, precious stones, pearls, amber and glass. I am deeply grateful for having had the opportunity to touch people from all over the world through my work.
As she speaks, Lise Aagaard reminds you of the glass beads she is so committed to creating. Like them, she is vibrant, playful, lively and profound. And, like glass, no-one can force Lise to do anything she doesn’t want to do. Lise is motivated by the desire to create. This applies regardless of whether she’s running the Trollbeads company or designing the Trollbeads themselves, which are now produced in their thousands and sold across the world.

Kim Buck It is fascinating to work with Trollbeads, because Trollbeads is really the essence of what jewelry is all about - jewelry becomes a type of talisman for us and gets a very personal significance for the people who wear it every day. We build a relationship with jewelry from the moment we get it, maybe as a gift from a lover, and expand day by day this relationship and the jewelry’s importance to us. Trollbeads are the perfect supports for these relationships with their various small meanings and universes within themselves. Although we, as designers of Trollbeads, have an idea about them from the outset, we have a clear desire that those who wear them give them a new meaning - that is actually the point. That is what makes all Trollbeads unique.
Kim Buck is an excellent example of a modern craftsman who obviously knows his craft right down to his fingertips, who knows the traditions of his profession and the field’s importance in a cultural context, but is also an innovator in terms of materials, techniques and tools, and last but not least in his influence as a participant and commentator in the community, using the skills he has been blessed with.” By Bettina Købbe (extract)

Signe M. Schumann I have worked as a Goldsmith for Lise Aagaard since the summer of 2000. Surrounded by Trollbeads morning to evening, it had to happen - I designed my first bead. My family name is Schumann, the name of a famous Danish traveling circus, and Søren Nielsen once said to me, with a name like that you ought to make circus jewelry! That’s why my first bead is a circus clown.

Grandmas Favourite
There is something magical about a green flower on green. It becomes almost purposely translucent. I’m here but I’m not really here!
You can look right into this beautiful white daisy, with the soft blue hue. Every single petal folds itself delicately around the silver insert.
Graduation marks the day when an important chapter in your life is over and a wonderful new one is about to begin. Congratulations!
Many small flowers in several layers, all in soft blue and violet shades – definitely Grandma’s favorite!

Purple Armadillo
Elephant
An old Indian prayer to the armadillo: “Protect my borders, teach me my shield, reflect my pain so I shall not yield.”
The elephant is the wisest of nature’s animals, but also one of its most hunted due to its beautiful tusks of ivory. This one is made from silver, without any harm done to the real, strong elephant.

Florence
Giraffes
As the birthplace of Italian Renaissance, Florence lies in the heart of Tuscany, buzzing with modern life but never forgetting its historical legacy.
These two giraffes are gently bending their long necks towards each other, yet even entwined they still take up the space of two beads – their legs are long as well. The ceilings in Noah’s Arc must have been high, if these two were to be housed. 61381

Lions The lion and the lioness, majestic and strong. It is no wonder that these proud beasts are named King of Animals and that they symbolise a noble spirit and courage. Some of that courage has been cast into this silver bead.

Owl
Scarlet Armadillo
A symbol of wisdom and protection, the owl watches over the forest at night, when the trees come alive and the trolls come out to play.

Horses
… Who prays, and serves, and prays some more … And feeds the beggar at the door … And weeps o’er loves lost long before? … Poet, soulful Pisces.
While some may claim that the dog is man’s best friend, it must be true, that the horse is an admirable rival. It has followed mankind for just as long, and the Arabs say it is God’s gift to man.

Svend Nielsen “I started in an apprenticeship with eight others from 1932 to 1937. Charms for bracelets was something totally new…they came from the newspapers to write about it! We made small buckets rakes and spades to hang from the bracelet - in gold. Whatever we made had to be sold!!! They didn’t want us to be too artistic! But it was okay to create “something different”, “something new”. That was sort of okay. I was placed next to the assistant who made chains and strings - we got along well - we used about 5/6 of all the gold used in the workshop. We made everything in metal sheet and wire. After a year the assistant stopped and it was my luck that I had acquired the necessary skills. After finishing my apprenticeship I only stayed for a short while - and after serving in the navy I went to Rome with my friend Carl. In the fall I started with a Goldsmith. We worked a lot in white gold and platinum. But not in the summer - then Inga and I biked to Paris and Switzerland. Then the Germans attacked Poland - redrafted for the security force - sent home - back to white gold and brilliants - then, the 9th of April I applied for a position with Person and Østerberg - old colleagues - it was an easy time for me, they didn’t pay attention to my coming and going. In 1945 I started on my own on Kultorvet and later in Klaraboderne”. (1917 - 2007)

These mysterious creatures populating a wonderous world underneath the sea.
Greek philosophers associated this angular shape with the element water. With its crisp angles you can almost hear the crunch of ice crystals.

The spirals seen in nature, in flora and fauna, are also called whorls, and have always been a great inspiration in art. Also, fingerprints are whorls … Spirals were studied by Archimedes in connection with his attempts at squaring a circle.
The magical diversity of nature makes the male Seahorse both birth giving and the primary parent to his offspring.
This Trollbead, the second chakra, is related to the element water, and to emotions and sexuality. It connects us to others through feeling, desire, sensation and movement. Ideally this chakra brings us fluidity and grace, depth of feeling, sexual fulfilment and the ability to accept changes. This glass bead has within it 22 carat gold.
Waves – the language of the ocean. Endlessly they roll onto our beaches. Even on calm days you can feel their power under the mirror like surface.

Anders Martin Bruun I see myself as an independent businessman, an artist, a designer, a Goldsmith and an entertainer who loves to become absorbed in the small details of whatever I’m working on at the moment. I express myself by being as precise and pure as possible, and I find it very challenging and exciting to work with Trollbeads. In designing a bead, I try to combine humor and details with a certain amount of cutenes and it’s important for me to integrate the hole into the design of a bead. I get my inspiration from the diversity of the world and from the quirkiness of everyday life.

Tomas Cenius Self taught designer Tomas Cenius describes his style as clean Nordic design combined with figurative forms. He began his career modelling comic book figures in clay before learning the art of wax modelling from Søren Nielsen. Under Søren’s tuition Tomas became a master of the craft and gained notoriety for the exquisite ‘Seasons’ ring. He has created jewelry for Denmark’s Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary, but prefers designing jewelry that anyone can afford and enjoy. “Essentially my goal is to make beautiful jewelry that touches people. I give the same attention to every piece, whether it is for the Royal couple or the lady next door.” “When I work with Trollbeads I like the fact that I design something that defines human emotions.” “My role model was Kaj Nielsen, a great modeller. He taught me the most important tool when you are making sculptures: To work with the shadow boundary!”

Amazonite
Falling Leaves
This stone of courage said to be named after the Amazon women warriors. Another legend says that it is simply named after the Amazon River in Brazil where it is found in rocks of granite. It is also called the Hope stone because it inspires confidence and hope.
Leaves are falling, forming the finest carpet in the woods. The sun suddenly shines down through the tree branches and warms you on a cold autumn day. 80106

Purple Dot
Planet
Blue Goldstone
This stone is also known as the transformation stone, or star stone. It is said to contain dust from the stars and the bluish-green iridescent light that shines from its heart, is the light from a star fog embedded there by alien creatures from strange worlds. It gives strength and constitution.
U for URSULA – Ursula comes from Latin and means “Little female bear”. In 238 AD, Saint Ursula tried to cross the Alps with her 11000 virgins and was slaugthered by the Huns.
The purple dots create living shadows dancing in the purple light.
This bead is named Planet, inspired by the heavenly bodies, a star, its moons and planets suspended in orbit.
Blue Goldstone is its name. But it is, in fact, made of glass. With tiny glittery bits that sparkle powerful energy, it is the “stone” of wisdom and science, and it is said to bring you luck and helps you reach for the stars.

Endless, Gold
Triple Pearl, Black
Stone Flower
Spiral
Dive into the quiet and calm center while the world is moving faster and faster.
Endless is a bead which is not a bead, but that which a bead holds and therefore describes a bead’s dimensions.
We all know that it is a sign of good fortune to find a four-leaf clover. However, in fairyland, luck will surround you if you find an oyster hiding three black pearls within its protective shell.
Flowers growing directly on a stone creating a fashion statement.
The spiral is an ancient symbol in most cultures. It symbolises magic, dreams, longings and most importantly eternity.

Jens Nielsen I have been on the team developing the Trollbeads concept from the first day. It is necessary to be familiar with, and to understand how to craft the beads, but at the same time understand how to use modern techniques. In this way, we can offer unique jewellery to the market and at reasonable prices. For me, it is an exciting challenge to combine the creative spirit with modern production methods.
It requires attention to detail. The soft curves which gather in front, the heavy bottom, and the silky surface. All that it takes to restore a beautiful, classic motorboat in miniature.
