Glass Beads

The glass jewellery beads are a central product of Trollbeads, guaranteed to evoke joy and excitement. These beads offer a wide array of colour options and intricate details. They come in various shapes, including round, faceted, and textured surfaces. You can use these beads to adorn your bracelets, necklaces, hair accessories, and rings. Each glass bead is meticulously handcrafted over an open flame at temperatures of up to 1000 degrees. Due to their handmade nature, each bead possesses unique variations.

Glass has always held an air of mystique since its invention millennia ago. There's something almost magical and otherworldly about this transparent material, which transforms from a soft, malleable state at high temperatures to something harder than metal as it cools.

Creating glass objects requires precision and impeccable timing. As the glass melts, it naturally forms into a spherical shape due to surface tension, much like a water droplet on a surface becomes round. Each colour of glass reacts differently, and skilled designers can harness this knowledge to craft a multitude of designs. The majority of the glass used in Trollbeads' collection hails from Italy, specifically Murano, an island near Venice in northern Italy, known for its centuries-old tradition of producing high-quality glass.

The artistry of Trollbeads' jewellery truly comes to life when you mix and match different components to tell your unique story. You can combine your glass beads with elements made from other materials such as gold, gemstones, silver, or pearls.
