Unique Beads Glossary

At Trollbeads Gallery the uniques beads have been a major focus for over 14 years. Trollbeads unique beads continue to develop into some of the most beautiful styles of glass beads offered and the task of identifying them has become a challenge. Many of our collectors want to seek out these highly collectible beads and this has created a need to identify the designs.  PLEASE NOTE: due to website limitations I have not updated the unique designs below since I created this page 7 years ago. So think of these beads as a screenshot in the history of uniques.

We hope to show as many of the designs as we can and identify them with names we can all use to source the beads we are searching for. For reference only, beads are not for sale.
