Artistic and fashionably elegant, Trollbeads are considered to be the premier leader
in European-styled charms. Trollbeads are the new generation of "charm bracelets"
featuring charms not only crafted using precious metals and gemstones, but also
glass. Glass bead lampworking is a delicate process that begins with a rod of clear
or colored glass being heated until it becomes molten. The artist then applies it
to a mandrel and slowly turns the mandrel until it is entirely encircled by the
molten glass. The first application of glass creates the base of the bead. With
Trollbeads glass bead, the artist then proceeds to use complex and often "trade-secret"
techniques that result in the breathtaking creation that becomes a work of art.
The "Prism" glass beads are a part of "Authentic
Trollbeads Group 1" but they differ from the lampwork beads. "Prism"
Trollbeads are faceted to give off a sparkling, textured reflection. The colors
are exquisite and plentiful. The faceted reflections add sparkle to your jewelry.
