History
Trollbeads began in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1976, when Soren Nielsen created the first Trollbead, Faces.The fashion, at the time, was to wear a single charm on a leather necklace cord. Instead of hanging the charm, Nielsen placed an opening through the center of his bead and strung it. Later, his sister, Lise, began to place the beads on silver bracelets.This is how the bead-on-bracelet jewelry concept was born. Today, Trollbeads can be found in over 400 cities worldwide. Until the year 2000 all Trollbeads creations were designed by members of the Nielsen/Aagaard family. Today we have over 100 jewelry designers from all over the world who contribute to our collections. In 2001, handcrafted, lamp work technique, Glass Beads were added to the Trollbeads collection. No two glass beads are the same. This gives our collectors the freedom to choose. The Trollbeads catalog currently features over 600 beads-each with their own unique design and story. Every story has a bead.
