This year, Trollbeads celebrates 50 years since its first bead. What began in 1976 as a simple silver bead with a unique hole design has become a global design icon. Today, Trollbeads is recognised as the original beads-on-bracelet brand, where jewellery becomes storytelling and every bead holds meaning. This anniversary honours five decades of creativity, craftsmanship, personal expression, and the many stories customers have carried in their jewellery.
Every story has a bead.

At Trollbeads, jewellery has always been more than decoration. It should express the wearer’s personal stories, memories and emotions. Inspired by mythology, nature, global cultures and the subtle beauty of everyday life, each bead is imagined as a tiny work of art.

Using the finest materials including sterling silver, 18-karat gold, gold-plated accents, Italian glass, pearls, amber and gemstones, Trollbeads blends traditional jewellery craftsmanship with modern techniques. The result is a collection where artistry, heritage and innovation meet, and every bead captures a unique story through its colour, details, light and character.

Craftsmanship is central to our brand: our glass beads, introduced in 2001, are individually shaped over an open flame, giving each one unique depth and character.

Our concept concept lets every customer design their own jewellery by choosing beads, clasps and carriers — creating pieces that evolve with milestones, travels, dreams and memories.

“Trollbeads is certainly part of the Danish design heritage, celebrated for its blend of quality and beauty. However, our inspirations are not limited to Denmark alone. Our collections are incredibly diverse, drawing from cultures around the globe. Collecting and wearing beads is a timeless and universal tradition that transcends borders.”

- Lise Aagaard, Founder & Creative Director

“The essence of Trollbeads lies in our deep respect and admiration for creativity. For me, creativity is more than just beautiful design; it is about unique stories, irresistible journeys, endless discoveries, and solid craftsmanship. The Trollbeads woman is anyone who appreciates beauty and wishes to tell her story.”

- Lise Aagaard, Founder and Creative Director
