Shock & Awe

US trollies will be reeling in horror this morning once discovering the new US prices. Glass 1 beads have increased from $25US to $29US, and if you'd like to enjoy your breakfast don't even think of checking out the new gold prices. You can see the new prices on: www.trollbeads.com

The new glass 1 & precious stone prices are showing on some online retailers, I'm assuming it will take them a day to two to update... so order now if you, like me, believe that the rest of their prices will be following TB.com's.... :(

Fall 2010 Release

The Fall 2010 Trollbeads release is only days away, and the new collection is stunning. Those who have seen it are commenting that it is the best release from Troll in a long time and I have to agree. There are two new glass kits, one dabbling in dappled patterns and primary colors and the other in rich Fall shades of deep purple and golden browns with some new textures. To compliment, a Tiger's Eye and faceted bronze colored Quartz are among the precious stones, as well as a round pale blue Chalcedony.

The 12 Zodiacs are reworked in stunning, artistic and fresh sculptures. There will be no accusations of "cutesy-ness" or "they look like that other brand" this time. Troll has dug deep into it's talent pool and produced silvers that are going to be very, very popular. Three other silvers, neat plays on shape & symmetry, are also introduced and perhaps some are also released in gold but I haven't had it confirmed.

Here is a teaser photo, the rest (if you haven't seen them already), you should be able to enjoy on Monday. :)
