The history of Troll Beads began in Denmark in 1976. That year, a young man by the name of Soren Nielsen, a silversmith, created his first small silver orb. This orb had very small, very delicate faces sculpted into it. Working in his cellar, young Mr. Neilsen proceeded to drill a hole through this small sculpture, and thus was created the very first Troll Bead, known as ‘the Mask’.

Initially, these Troll Beads were only sold in very small jewelers shops around Copenhagen, however, the word spread. Customers and referred shoppers begin to request various new creations, and it just a while, a number of different symbols and shapes begin to be produced. flooded in. This was the beginning of the legacy of Troll Beads.

What are Troll Beads? Well, they are a family of over 500 beautifully crafted sterling silver, glass, as well as 14ct and 18ct beads, that are combined with naturally occurring pearls and precious stones. As you might expect from the name, each of the beads has its own personal tale, which may be inspired by mythology, astrology, fairy tales, cultural diversity, and even everyday familiar symbols.

Troll Beads are hand-crafted by master craftsmen and silversmiths, and each bead has a sterling sliver core that easily allows the individual beads to move smoothly over the exquisite fox chain and double-sided clasp.

The charm of Troll Beads, pardon the pun, is that they engage and stimulate the visual senses. The wearer of Troll Beads can let their imagination flow beyond boundaries because the opportunities are practically endless.

designs and new messages as they endeavor to be true to the Troll Beads legacy. Each year, two new collections are made available on schedule, and at some point, a surprise issue is released at random.

Troll Beads have expanded to a global marketplace, and are found in more than 40 countries.
