Hello everyone! Today I'm going to share a bit about Trollbeads Malaysia. In case you don't know, Trollbeads is the creator of the original "bead on bracelet" concept that has taken the world by storm!
Their pieces are not only intricately gorgeous, they are also made with love and care. Each piece tells a story that is unique to the wearer; every bead keeps a memory to be held-dear and treasured.
About the Brand
Trollbeads is a popular jewelry brand run as a family business by the Nielsen/Aagaard family.
The story of its establishment dates back to 1976, in Copenhagen, Denmark, when Soren Nielsen created the first Trollbead called 'Faces' which was sold at his father's jewelry shop. It was so called due to the 6 different faces showed as you turn the bead on the bracelet. These include happy, sad and angry faces, which are representative of emotions we feel in daily life.
Instead of following the fashion trend back then, Nielsen came up with a new idea - to place an opening through the center of the bead - which inspired his sister Lise Aagaard, who then founded Trollbeads and opened her own jewelry store. One day, upon a customer's request, more than one bead was added to her bracelet. This created the "bead on bracelet" concept which has revolutionized the jewelry world and captured the hearts of females worldwide.
Today Trollbeads is established in more than 400 cities worldwide.
You might ask, why Trollbeads? Why not Pandora? Or Thomas Sabo?
Trollbeads vs Pandora and Thomas Sabo
Although Pandora and Thomas Sabo might be more popular, Trollbeads are better known for their unique beads and excellent craftsmanship.
Trollbeads uses 18 karat gold, gemstones and Murano artisan glass beads handmade by skillful craftsmen worldwide to create high quality and durable pieces of art.
Trollbeads bracelet's special design allows beads from other manufacturers to fit easily, whereas Pandora's bracelet is screwed, preventing other manufacturers' beads from being added to it. Thomas Sabo Karma Beads Bracelet's operates in a similar concept to that of Trollbeads. However, the Karma beads have tiny holes, which are not compatible with any other charm bracelet, not even Trollbeads' versatile chain.

3. Rustic charm of Trollbeads
Compared to Pandora and Thomas Sabo, Trollbeads charms have a more earthier and rustic feel to them. When coupled with Trollbeads' rich history and heritage, it presents a classical appeal that Pandora and Thomas Sabo's polished modern charms are lacking of.
Trollbeads charms are more creative and playful in the sense that they are inspired by abstract art, stories, legends, myths and folklore, whereas Pandora plays it safe by featuring easily-identified daily objects. Thomas Sabo, like Pandora, does produce some nice charms but it does not take on abstract concepts like Trollbeads.
Trollbeads' silver beads are more detailed than Pandora's and Thomas Sabo. Trollbeads pieces are also stunning and colourful in their own way, easy to pair with and timelessly elegant. If you know how much work and effort goes into creating a charm, you will learn to appreciate it.
Long story short, if you are in search of truly unique beads that tells a personal story, Trollbeads is your best choice.
The Greatest Showman is a wonderful cinematic experience to me. I loved that this musical actually has a morale behind it. It teaches me a few things:
1. Appreciate our family and friends, and not to put so much emphasis on fame and wealth.
2. Respect and treat others as you want to be treated by others.
3. Happiness can be simple sometimes. It doesn't have to be necessarily materialistic or elaborate.
4. A real upper-class person is one who has a big heart.
5. Putting your dreams into action can make a whole world of difference.
The wonderful music, memorable songs, and stellar performances are bound to linger in your mind for weeks after watching this movie. Though not necessarily historically accurate, The Greatest Showman is joyous, exuberant and uplifting. I had a fantastic time watching it.
One thing for sure, the soundtrack will be on repeat for a very long time.
Thank you Nuffnang and Afreeda for the chance to watch this movie!
