Trollbeads Museum

Since 1976

The Trollbeads family business was founded in Denmark in 1976 by Lise Aagaard after her brother, silversmith Søren Nielsen, created the six-faced silver bead. In her own jewellery store in Copenhagen, Lise began putting Søren’s beads on silver bracelets – one on each. One day a customer asked her to put an extra bead on a bracelet. The world-famous bead-on-bracelet concept and the Trollbeads company were born.

Behind Trollbeads’ passion for the bead-on-bracelet concept lies a vision to help people collect memories and express their stories and essence. The vast choice of beads provides jewellery lovers the world over with a unique experience to physically capture their memories in meaningful objects – and express their personal styles.

Trollbeads is born out of the renowned Danish design legacy of simplicity, functionality and quality. Trollbeads jewellery is crafted from the highest quality raw materials – including 18k gold, Sterling silver, Italian glass from Murano, freshwater pearls, amber, and precious stones – using both traditional and modern techniques. Each glass bead is handmade from red-hot glass in an open flame. Like the women or men who wear them, no two Trollbeads are ever alike.
