Celebrate the idea-that every gesture, no matter how small, can promote personal growth and the birth of deep and meaningful connections with others.

Today I have a sampling of some of the new spring beads from Trollbeads. It’s still winter in Canada although we have not had much snow this year. I look forward to seeing everything grow and turn green again. These beads make me feel happy and excited for the return of spring.

A piece I was especially excited to see is the Leather Cord Bracelet in Black. Similar in style to the leather necklace, it’s a great to have another option for a lightweight bracelet. I have quite a few leather bracelets (Pandora, Redbalifrog, OHM, etc) but those don’t often fit Trollbeads. You need to buy a clasp separately and the beads will 100% move around on this, unlike the older double Trollbeads leather bracelets or the older single leather ones. You *could* try to force a spacer on, or even try a clip from OHM or Pandora, but I didn’t want to wreck the leather by trying either of those ideas. I’m opting to wear one silver bead on the leather bracelet and not let the movement bother me. I wore it at work on Friday and kept the clasp on the top of my wrist and let the silver watering can bead fall to the bottom of my wrist. I love this combo and it will be what I wear on the plane to Florida for spring break. I will be curious to hear other people’s thoughts about this leather bracelet and other ones in general.

Here’s the leather bracelet with (L-R) a Feldspar Moonstone Bead, the new Sunshine Vitality Bead and the new Fossilised Shell Bead. Love the peach tones!

The Tulip of Optimism Clasp is so gorgeous! The back of this clasp is plain and I like that choice! I prefer a simple, Scandinavian design as opposed to an ornate, fussy design. The designer of this clasp was Signe M. Schumann, who also designed the watering can bead and the tulips bead in this collection. Also, she designed the glass Sea Anemone Bead which is one of my all time favourite beads!

Here’s a video to better show the clasp.

While we’re at it, let’s see a video of the Love Source Bead (the watering can bead). I adore this! It’s so cute and perfect for the spring. This is my bead of choice for the leather bracelet. My friend Trisha said she thinks it will be wonderful on a necklace.

Let’s also see a video showing the Fossilised Shell Bead and the Sunshine Vitality Bead.

I have another couple of the new faceted glass beads. This one is called Drops of Attention.

I tried it with my Trollbeads Day 2022 Troll Agate beads.

Here’s a video…

The last faceted bead I have to show is the one in the middle of this bangle. There are a lot of colours going on here. It’s called the Current of Life Bead.

And now for a video. Since Blooming Boutique is no longer carrying Trollbeads I don’t know where people can look for live images of beads anymore. I really wish there was a Trollbeads store in my city as I love to see the different variations of beads.

I also received three smooth glass beads and they are very colourful and detailed. The Trollbeads artisans always impress me so much with their fine motor skills! The butterfly bead is amazing! It’s called Velvet Wings Bead. The glass beads are quite tiny and it must require an incredible amount of concentration to make these beads.

Look how sweet these tulips are! This bead is called the Tulip of Optimism Bead.

The Seeds of Happiness bead is very cheery.

The Secret Spring Bead is very pretty.

Here’s a video of the bracelet.

The last two beads for today are the Pearl of Dedication Tassel and the Path of Flowers Bead. I love how Trollbeads makes their Valentines’s Day beads each year match up with the beads from previous years.

Of course, the beads here are going to move around, but I wanted to show them on the leather anyway.

Here’s another video to help show the size of the beads.

I also made a silver bracelet with these beads.

The pearl dangle would look lovey on a necklace! Here’s a video of the bracelet.

Again, this is just a sampling of the collection so check out the rest of it on the Trollbeads website. I might buy a Blue Willow Bead and maybe a couple of the new coin shaped beads. These days I don’t wear full bracelets much at all and these mini bracelets in my blog post are reflective of what I actually wear. Some of the busier beads I will end up wearing just on their own on a silver chain bracelet with two gold stoppers. Do let me know what you think of these beads. Has anything caught your eye or have you already made a purchase from this collection?
