Lise Aagaard
The inspiration for my beads often comes from my world travels. They often mirror a detail from another culture. I have always loved all forms of beads, their history and the details surrounding the production. Today I work with development and production of glass beads. The glass and the silver compliment each other so beautifully

Søren Sølvsmed
My first Trollbeads were designed with little faces and figurines in Sterling Silver and strung on leather. Their intention was to tell a story and facilitate communication between people. It is now more than 25 years since I began. Trolls, stories, mythology and other cultures are often my inspiration.

Svend Nielsen
I began my education as a goldsmith in 1932 where I worked together with eight other smiths until 1937. Charms for bracelets was something completely new... we even got media coverage! So we produced small buckets, rakes and spades to hang on bracelets- in gold. Anything that would sell. The artistic element wasn't the main focus although it was okay to make something "new" or "different." As a young man, my life was of course influenced by travel and to an even stronger extent, the war, but goldsmith'ing was and continues to be the main focus of my life.

I have been on the team developing the Trollbead concept from the first day. It is necessary to be familiar with and to understand how to craft the beads but at the same time understand how to use modern techniques. In this way, we can offer unique jewelry to the market and at reasonable prices. For me, it is an exciting challenge to combine the creative spirit with modern production methods.

Trine Tanja Falsled
It is an exciting process to create a bead. First I decide how to arrange the animals in relation to each other. Then I try to bring out the specific characteristics of the animal with as many details as possible. I have designed most of my beads in my time as an apprentice with Svend Nielsen, and it is a great to see that I have now turned out a whole herd. I hope that you will be happy for your bead.

Michael Weihe
I graduated as a Silversmith in 2000, at Georg Jensen Sølvsmedie. By 2001 I had started Weihe Sølvsmedie and now have a Studio and shop in Haderslev (DK). When Shaping my designs I tend to use nature as a guide, and for the more cubed designs I use large machines. I pick out the details and perfect them, and recreate them into jewelry.

My family name is Schumann, the name of a famous Danish traveling circus, and Søren Sølvsmed once said to me, with a name like that you ought to make circus jewelry! Therefore my first Trollbead is a circus clown.

Gitte Bjørn
Gitte Bjørn is educated goldsmith from 1993. Already from her graduation project it was obvious that she wanted to work sculpturally. She has exhibited in Denmark as well as internationally and describe her work this way:
With my work I strive to give room and physical reality to the part of my imagination, that I allow myself – still - to live in a parallel world populated with mythological beings and animals in a gothic time. In this way I keep “ the bridge down” and treat myself with a sure expectation of joy and excitement that lays ahead of me.

Jytte kløve
I am standing at the helm of a ship sailing into the future. My cargo is securely stowed in the hold below me. The view from the bridge is wonderful - no two outlooks on the real world are alike. Each day brings a new sunrise, new colors, because each morning adds yet another day to life and anything can happen.

Tom Blicher
Tom Blicher has designed jewelry in his own workshop since 1992.
Inspiration comes from organic forms and movements and the lines found there.
Those lines are often reflected in Toms jewelry. He describes his create process thus:
I design my jewelry so that they are little sculptures in themselves. In my thoughts I see them as sculptures on solid ground. Their lines and movements must support this magnification in order to appear complete in my eyes.
