Updates...

Here is the response from Fable on the rumored retirements:

"The Daisy bead has not been retired and we have ample stock, if you would like to order this lovely bead please contact your local retailer.Thank you for taking the time to contact Fable Trading."

So the rumors are squashed!

And it seems the prices I mentioned for the Earring line were wholesale, not retail, so they are pretty much double of what I thought. So I take back what I said... they are a bit pricey!!!

The official announcement for the Summer 2010 Trollbeads release can be viewed here:

UK Retirement Rumours!


There seems to be some (mis?)information in the UK about Baby Dragon Fantasy Necklace splitter bead, gold & silver Daisy bead, and the silver Angel pendant not being available to order anymore, thus fuelling retirement rumours for these beads. Since TB did their big 2 year retirement at the beginning of 2010, it seems unlikely. BUT they did retire/replace the Red-Pink prism last year and the UK was the first to know about it.


The beads are still showing on the UK distributor's website: http://www.trollbeads.co.uk/


So, what to believe??? I will keep digging.

Earrings & Interchangable Discs??

Another tidbit off of a well-known US Dealers Twitter, posted today:

"New for Trollbeads!! Beautiful earrings and very cool interchangeable discs and charms to collect! Coming out soon!"

Gold Heartbeat Bead


I'm lurking around the Trollbeads world, trying to find out more about the June release. On the Netherlands TB site they have this bead listed as a Limited Edition. Could this possibly be one of the beads in the new release??? This bead was originally released on the 30th Anniversary Bracelet in 2006, then re-released with Diamonds, Rubies, or Pink Sapphires set into it last year.
As for dates I'm hearing June 11th, or June 15th. Will keep trolling....

Ltd Edition Country Beads???

There are rumours out there that the Limited Edition Trollbeads release for June 2010 will be country specific beads. I'm guessing these will be silver, but glass is possible too. No pictures have surfaced just vague references... Time will tell, let's keep our fingers crossed!

The winner of the Retired Bead event is... Earth by Nicolas Aagaard-Svend Nielsen! A huge surprise & a huge bead. You can read more here: http://www.trollbeadsuniverse.com/global/en-us/events/trollbeads-museum---winner-announced! The best part is there is a hint about the new collection release date: You'll find Earth, along with the Autumn Collection, at your local retailer from August 2010


Surely Trollbeads won't make us suffer THAT long until something new is released!!! The last release was Ltd Spring flower beads on March 19th. Ack!!!
