Trollbeads "Glass Group 2", much like Trollbeads "Glass Group 1", is a selection of extraordinary Trollbeads. As with the first grouping of glass Trollbeads, molten glass is wound around a mandrel, which is a thin rod of stainless steel, to form each bead. However, the beads in Glass Group 2 are more intricate creations.
Additional steps are taken to bring each Trollbead in this group to its creative limit. In 2004 the Trollbeads Chakra series was introduced, along with Black Gold, Third Eye, Pink Gold and Light Blue Gold which all feature a brilliant trail of 24K gold leaf. The gold leaf is applied to each bead, surrounding the various base colors. The gold enhanced beads are then finished with a layer of clear glass. The pure colors of the Chakra Trollbeads make a striking contrast against the bright gold leaf.
A brilliant addition to this Trollbeads group in 2009 introduced the Mosaic series, beads with dicroic glass embedded just below the top layer of glass. With each addition to the Glass Group 2 category we are reminded how Trollbeads continues to evolve with each new release. |
