The initial offering of colorful, glass Haiti Empowerment beads was released in late February 2010. Lund Trading, in partnership with Trollbeads Denmark, our retailers and sales representatives, will donate $14.00 from every Haiti Empowerment bead purchase to Humanity for Humanity. Lund Trading has promised Habitat for Humanity a minimum donation of $100,000. Habitat for Humanity’s goal is to provide housing solutions to 50,000 low-income Haitian families over the next five years.

In order to include all consumers in this worthy cause, Trollbeads has designed and manufactured Empowerment beads to fit Trollbeads bracelets as well as similar beaded bracelets. It is our hope that the beads’ message of love and support will strengthen all those affected by this disaster.

A special thank you to all of my customers who have contributed to the success of this Trollbeads cause!

Simple and elegant, the swan is a symbol of maturity and sophistication.

The smaller end of this clasp also features a smaller swan neck and head, very similar to the Elephant Lock.  The detail in this lock is exquisite!

I bought this fabulous book for Christmas 2009 and love it. Titled AN ICON IN JEWELRY DESIGN -TROLLBEADS, it is an inspiration for all collectors and offers a window into the eye of the family of Trollbeads and their designers.  Written by Ehrhorn Hummerston, this book is a must for any avid Trollbeads collector, though it is the largest book I own!  You can find it at Amazon.

Whether you say ‘Be My Valentine’ or ‘I shall always love you’, give your love a personalized greeting  forever engraved on this little sterling or gold parchment. 

 Another way to personalize the Big Scroll for yourself is to choose 9 words that your want to carry with you.  Here are some suggestions:   Abundance, Love, Peace, Hope, Faith, Healing, Freedom, Wisdom.   Carry these words with you for inspiration every day!

The stone of courage is 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.

Many collectors have already received this bead from 2009 Be Original-The Movie contest.  The lovely Amazonite bead was awarded to those who submitted videos that were chosen to be used in the movie.  Now anyone can own this magical bead!

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, so we celebrate life and love with heartbeats, hugs and kisses all topped off with the latest special bead release only available from  Trollbeads’ Premier Partners. 

 Crazy Lace Agate in bright pink and magenta are already sold out at Trollbeads Trail!
