On Friday, September 6th, the Trollbeads Autumn 2019 Collection called Golden Nightfall will be released. Today I’ve got an overview of some of my favourite pieces from it, including the glass Nightfall Kit ($193 USD). Designed by Tenzin Phuntsok and Kalden Chophel, this is the highlight of the entire collection for me.
I will definitely be buying a couple more of the Flowers of Poise bead, as it is quite magical. I love all the different colours in the flower.
Another bead in this kit is Golden Foilage, which appears to have shiny silver at its core.
Birds of Joy is very sweet and really well made.
There is another bird and it has a hint of a deep eggplant colour. It’s called Birds of Freedom.
Golden Poppies makes me think of candy corn which is often seen at Hallowe’en.
Lastly, Flowers of Passion is also very striking.
Colour wise this is an extremely cohesive kit. You can throw together any few beads from it and it will look great.
Trollbeads is also expanding their line of small, round gemstones ($50 USD) with this collection. Interestingly, I’ve not seen too many people using the summer Go Round stones on social media very much, although that is maybe not indicative of their popularity since not everyone is posting their bracelets on social media, just a select group of obsessed people like me!
Below left to right are the Round Amethyst, Round Black Onyx, Round Garnet, Round Red Onyx and Round Tiger Eye.
The Black Onyx is going to be super useful but look at that Tiger Eye and Red Onyx!
Here is every single round stone that Trollbeads now makes.
A week or so after I took this photo my husband cut this branch right off the tree! It was getting too low and close to the neighbour’s car, but jeez, I used it all the time for photos! ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
Another piece I wanted to show is the darling little Flower Wreath ($28 USD), designed by Sรธren Nielsen.
It is really delicate and petite and looks awesome stacked as a pair in between the gold spacers. On the bangle in front is another new silver bead called Leaves of Grace ($39 USD), also designed by Sรธren Nielsen.
The Flower Wreath also looks adorable as a single bead.
Or, you can use two to frame a bead as I did here.
Lastly for today, let’s take a look at one of the new locks, called Lock of Leaves. ($72 USD) Also take note of the Framed by Nature silver piece ($50 USD). It is sitting up front, with the Round Red Onyx in it.
I’ll end off with a few more photos, but please do let me know what you think of what you’ve seen!
Oh yes, two more things! Check out the fabulous different sections of the Get Spooky bead ($61 USD) designed by Nozomi Kaji. I’m going to do another blog post next month with a Hallowe’en focus, but I think this might be a bead to pick up sooner rather than later. I have it on good word that the workmanship on this bead is absolutely outstanding!
Here also is the Daydream Kit, but I’m going to delve into this one at a later date.
Disclosure: All of these beads from the Autumn 2019 Collection were provided as samples by Trollbeads USA.
All the beads you posted look amazingโ๏ธI also love the artistic way you present the bracelets. I wish I had the opportunity to walk into a Trollbeads store and just browseโผ๏ธIโd probably never leave it. As it is, the only store in Israel has just closed so I rely on your posts to keep up to date. Please keep postingโผ๏ธ Judy

Thanks for reading and commenting Judy! I understand how hard it is to shop online and itโs especially hard to figure out relative sizes of pieces from stock images. Many times Iโve been surprised getting Beadmail as Iโve thought something would be smaller or larger than it actually was!

Hi Martha, the Flower of Poise is gorgeous. Other than matching with dark and intense colours like orange, red, black or brown, do you think it will be versatile enough to work with other lighter colours like amber yellow and even light blue?

Hi Ching Ching! It is a really busy bead with all those colours. I definitely think it would work with something else, especially blue, but I personally would want to pair it with a fairly simple bead. I look forward to seeing how people use it!

I have to admit that when I first saw the preview for this collection nothing particularly caught my eye, but seeing your photos may have made me change my mind. The Nightfall kit is really striking, particularly the flowers. I rarely buy Troll glass anymore (I just have so much), but I’ll be giving some serious thought to those. I love your bangle photos with the gemstones. Such a rich palette for fall. I always did like fall colors the best.

Kim, I also love rich fall colours and remember buying the September issues of Seventeen magazine when I was young. I loved looking at the photos of leather boots, tweeds and burgundy knee socks also come to mind! The air is becoming a little bit more crisp in the mornings here as Iโm sure it is where you live, also. Thanks for reading and commenting!

I know that I have to run to the store to pick up a “Get Spooky” bead! Overall I like the autumnal color palette. Black Onyx and Red Onyx will be really versatile. Nice photos as always!

Your photos are amazing Martha and make it easy to pretty much love any of the glass and stone beads. I love the colors of the kits as they remind me of autumn and autumn reminds me of many things such as back to school, cool light jacket weather, October and most importantly Halloween! Glad Trollbeads decided to stick with the theme this time around. I have to agree with everyone that the black poise bead is going to be a showstopper ๐ a few beads that stand out for me are Doodle glass, the purple and red round stones and the Spirit man and leave themed silver beads. Looking forward to seeing all the pics this year after release day!! โค๏ธ๐งก

Thanks for the love, Alex! This collection is incredibly cohesive and that makes it easy to overlook beads I think. It will take some time to โget to knowโ them, but as you say that Flowers of Poise is the showstopper of the collection. I also love the fall. Itโs back to school for us tomorrow, then all the leaves changing colours, crisp and cool air in the mornings and so on. This collection really hits the mark for all of those things. I just find it overwhelming and this isnโt the whole collection by a stretch!

I’m definitely joining the admiration club for the Flowers of Poise bead. But seeing how you u used the Flower Wreath bead too has put that near the top of my wishlist.

Hi Martha,
I may need to rethink a few pieces I originally overlooked. This is a beautiful release. I wish I had a local store here. Iโm wondering if there will be a free lock/ free bracelet buy one get one free promo as they sometimes do that when they release a new collection? Any word ?

Thanks for the review; I’ve really been looking forward to more images of the new stones. No instagram here, but I’ve personally been enjoying the summer stones very much. It took me a while to get some since my only remaining trollbeads dealer didn’t get any and I really wanted to pick out a labradorite in person. Finally found a really nice one on a trip, and picked up a lapis and an aventurine too. I’ve been very happy with them since. I always preferred size uniformity in my bracelets – with silvers matching the size of my stones/glass – and the small stones just go so well with my pearls and smaller silvers. And I always seem to prefer lighter, neater bracelets come summer – the new stones are perfect for this.
Oddly enough, I was just wishing they’d included an ametyst in this size and thinking how nicely it would go with the lapis when I got the trollbeads mail about the fall collection. So I’m definitely planning on picking one up. Yours look so pretty in all your pictures. Thanks for the pictures with all the different stones; it makes it easier to see how the stones complement each other. Seeing your pictures and reviews really help when you can’t get to a shop easily; thank you ๐

Marie, it sounds like the new stones are just perfect for your taste. I will admit to buying several of the silver Ripples beads to go with the round stones and I agree about the uniformity being very nice. Iโm really happy that you found my pictures useful. I also donโt have easy access to a Trollbeads store (have to cross over to the USA, in fact), so I know itโs hard to visualize how beads will look with each other. Thanks for reading and commenting!
