In a world where time flows ceaselessly, the pursuit of longevity stands as a beacon of hope, guiding us towards a life not just lived, but cherished. Longevity embodies the quest for an extended lifespan, where vitality and wisdom intertwine gracefully.

It’s more than simply adding years to life; it’s about building a meaningful life, filled with the things you love. Longevity is about pursuing passions and leaving a lasting legacy.

In essence, longevity invites us to embrace each moment with reverence, nurture body, mind, and soul, and journey through life with determination to thrive. It’s a celebration of human resilience and the potential within each of us, reminding us that the greatest gift is a life well lived.

Today I have a selection of beads to show you from the new autumn collection. To see all the new beads and jewelry, please visit the Trollbeads website.

I must say that I actually gasped out loud when I saw the beads from the faceted kit. Designed by Neetu Gupta, the opaque Lasting Life bead is sure to be popular. Look at the gorgeous colours on the leaves (middle bead below).

The bead on the right is the old Forest Mist and I think it looks spectacular with Lasting Life. The bead on the left is called Gold Rush, which I obtained in a bead swap in Michigan at the Trollbeads Partridge Creek store!

Also from the faceted kit is the lovely Swaying Leaves.

As always with Trollbeads, I like to see what older beads will work with the newer ones. I think the faceted beads from Autumn 2017 work really well with Swaying Leaves. In the middle is the new Symphony of Strength.

Also from the faceted kit is the colourful Lifetime of Joy. These opaque beads really are special.

The other glass kit is all mushroom beads. I’m happy to see them as regular collection beads, as I am not willing to seek out special uniques from resellers. While some people enjoy the hunt, I prefer to not have to jump through hoops in order to make purchases. The mushroom bead down below on the left is called Mushrooms of Sunshine and the one on the right is called Mushrooms of Magic. I adore the little dots on the mushrooms! The mushroom beads are designed by Tenzin Phuntsok and Kalden Chophel.

Here they are with some brown toned beads, as well as two new silvers. The bumpy one on the left is called Promise of Dawn and is designed by Søren Nielsen. On the right is the super cute porcupine called Talisman of Protection designed by Louise Rimpler.

Here’s a video so you can see both sides of the porcupine. There’s a leaf on the back! Love it.

For those of you who collect longevity beads, there’s a new Longevity Clasp designed by Louise Rimpler. Please note that the other side is plain.

Two more new silvers have a shoe theme. The single shoe called Adventure Buddy is designed by Louise Rimpler and the triple design is called Vital Strides and is designed by Signe Schumann.

Let’s take a better look with a video. The spacer is fantastic and it’s called Timeless Spacer.

Moving on to our green section of photos, the new stone this season is Green Onyx. It’s absolutely beautiful. It really changes colour according to the light. It has a mate in the silver/green onyx bead called Calming Shelter. The other mushroom bead I received fits in well with the greens and is called Mushrooms of Poise.

I love the new silver bead designed by Søren Nielsen called Nature Wisdom.

Here’s a better look at Calming Shelter. There are two stones, top and bottom.

I love how the Green Onyx appears to glow.

Green and black work so well together.

Mushrooms of Poise is really delightful.

Well, that’s all the photos I have for today. Sometimes I add new ones to the bottom of blog posts as time goes on. I think the glass beads in particular in this collection are outstanding. As I said, do look at the entire collection on the Trollbeads website in case there’s something else you might like. Any favourites so far? Thanks for reading!
