gifts is excited to add Trollbeads to our product line!
Trollbeads is unique jewelry. Each bead has its own little history, taking its inspiration from mythology, astrology, fairy tales, fauna, flora, cultural diversity, and last but certainly not least, in the familiar things of everyday living. What is most distinctive about Trollbeads, apart from the original design, is the use and combination of fascinating materials. The beads are made from the highest quality raw materials including sterling silver, 18 carat gold, Italian Murano glass, natural pearls and precious stones. The original models are typically created in hard modeling wax – cast and finished in metal. Some models are then set with stones. And other models are created directly in molten, red-hot glass.  The concept of Trollbeads charms was developed over the past 25 years. Today, eighteen Danish and internationally renowned jewelry designers create the beads. The many different symbols, flowers, animals, zodiac signs, colors and materials offer you endless variations and combinations, making the jewelry both unique and personal. You can start with just one bead or be bold and begin with a collection. The beads can be worn on a silver or gold chain – as a bracelet or necklace. Create your own charm over time – wish for Trollbeads, it gives others the opportunity to be part of your story. Trollbeads have won international artistic recognition and have recently been exhibited at Sculpture Objects & Functional Art in Chicago and New York. www.trollbeadsus.com
Any Trollbead lover will love this story. For those who aren't into "beads" just yet. . .well . . hopefully I'll see you soon! Greetings! A couple of months ago a fellow by the name of Tim, his wife Michele and one of their young children walked into glee. He was carrying a Trollbead bracelet-without any beads. I noticed his wife was VERY somber. I assumed they were having some sort of disagreement; it was clear that SOMETHING was amiss. The bracelet was way too large for Michele's wrist, so I fitted her for the correct size and left Tim and Michele alone to peruse the beads. Suddenly Michele left the store with her child and waited in the car. Since she seemed to leave abruptly, I once again assumed she was upset about something or wanted to bring her child out to the car (like many of us parents do from time to time.)
Tim confided that while he was overseas, he wanted to build a Trollbead bracelet for Michele by sending her one Trollbead a month. I almost starting bawling right then and there because I was so touched by the thoughtfulness he had towards his wife and the connection HE felt with the beads. This is a guy who really gets it!! I promised I would take care of all his Trollbead needs for the next 12 months. I gave him a storybook, my business card and off he went.
In all honesty, I am truly honored to be one of the links that keep Tim and Michele connected while he is serving our country overseas. The sacrifice that these folks endure is truly humbling. I can't wait to see what Michele's bracelet looks like a year from now. It's amazing what the power of a little bead can do. Stay tuned. . . . . Ann Trollbead Love Story – Episode 2...Well, I was getting a little nervous last week since we were heading into September and I hadn't heard from Tim yet regarding which bead he wanted to send Michele for the month of August. Lo and behold, last Friday one of Michele's galpals and Trollbead lover, Becky, called me with a message from Tim--he wanted the dolphin bead. He wanted to get the bead to Michele that day before she left on a trip for Labor Day weekend. Another friend of Michele's picked up the dolphin bead at the store and delivered it to her that afternoon. Ladies, this is the true meaning of "it takes a village". His chose the dolphin bead for August since he watches the dolphins play in the ocean and it brings him joy. Yes, he is with the Coast Guard.
Till next month. . . . Ann PS: Many of you have fondly responded to this story via e-mail or by conversation in the store. Tim and Michele are developing a little fan club! If you have a Trollbead story, and wish to share it, tell me, and let me share "your story" with others. I find my customers love reading and hearing about this!! Trollbead Love Story – Episode 3... A dear friend of our Love Story Couple is Becky. Tim and Becky have been corresponding via e-mail, and Becky called me last week with Tim's request, the Lighthouse Bead. This month Tim wanted to include a poem for Michele, since she loves literature and has been reading a lot of poems lately. The poem is about a journey home. . . .

Tim and Michele's Trollbead Love Story I have to admit I was a little concerned that it was not until the end of October before I heard from Tim again. Turns out communications were difficult to get out from where ever he is. When he finally was able to communicate, this was his message to Michele for the month of October and November. This holiday season please keep all those serving in the armed forces in your thoughts and prayers and for a safe return home. If you have a Trollbead story, and wish to share it, tell me, and let me share "your story" with others. I find my customers love reading and hearing about this!!

Chamilia comes from the belief that each one of us has dimensions of our character and parts of our lives that hold real meaning. Killian  was
inspired to create a way for herself, and for all women, to hold onto friends,
family, memories, and experiences in a symbolic and meaningful way.
This is Chamilia. Killian’s vision was to create a contemporary twist on the classic charm bracelet, where a woman could be the designer of her own bracelet. “The wonderful beauty of the beads is that they can be combined on a bracelet to create thousands of different looks as unique as the woman who wears it.” In just five years, the Chamilia collection has grown to over 600 beads. Today, Killian creates hundreds of new bead designs, including ideas that come from customers, each one hand-designed like her very first bead. Killian Rieder is a graduate of the renowned Fashion Institute of Technology, and worked for fashion icons like Ralph Lauren Polo. She still finds inspiration in things that have added meaning to her life and her customer’s lives.  John Medeiros John Medeiros, founder and CEO of Tahoe Jewelry, introduced the John Medeiros line in 2000 after having worked in the jewelry industry for many years. As a child of European immigrants trying to make a living in Providence, Rhode Island, once the international capital of costume jewelry production, Medeiros worked after school in the precious metals industry while still in school. In 1984 Medeiros founded Tahoe Jewelry, providing the precious metals jewelry industry with intricate polishing and stone setting services during the day, while at night he was working on what would become the John Medeiros line—real jewelry hand crafted from non-precious metals.

After a couple of minutes Tim came to the
register with 4 beads. We got to talking where I discovered the real reason why
Michele seemed so sad: They just learned he had to ship overseas the next day
and would be gone for an entire year. I could only imagine the pain Michele
felt knowing that she wouldn't see her husband for a year. 
In July he contacted
me from the Mideast. I was thrilled. He chose "Snails in Love" as the bead to
add to Michele's bracelet that month. I hand delivered the bead to Michele that
night with a special message from Tim that will remain confidential but believe
me, when I delivered the bead and the message both Michele and I were in tears.
