Trollbeads

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
Trollbead Love Story Episode
1...
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.)
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.
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 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.
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.
 "Two dolphins swimming around the chain. Dolphins are very
intelligent animals with highly developed communication skills. They are adored
in many cultures."
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. . . .
Meeting at Night by Robert Browning
The gray sea and long black land; And yellow half-moon large
and low; And the startled little waves that leap In fiery ringlets from
their sleep As I gain the cove with pushing prow, And quench its speed
in the slushy sand, Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach; Three fields
to cross till a farm appears; A tap at the pane, the quick sharp
scratch And blue spurt of a lighted match, And a voice less loud,
through its joys and fears, Than the two hearts beating each to each!

Swoon, , , , , , Till next time, , , , , Ann

Chamilia
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.
Killians 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 customers
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 linereal jewelry
hand crafted from non-precious metals.
John
Medeiros jewelry all comes with a lifetime guarantee. Each piece is made
from:
- Base Material: Non-precious lead-free premium
alloy with .02% of silver which are strong and lightweight.
- Overlay/Finish/Plate: Rhodium and 14Kt gold
which has a permanent non-tarnish, easy to care for finish. John Medeiros uses
