Trollbeads Christmas 2012 sneak peeks

Icy blue diamond bead is definitely my cup of tea

Great colors but the grey, coffee, glitter combo is more of a fall versus Christmas..... Oh we'll at least it is not as bad as the Christmas in Australia & Hawaii. Nice group of silvers. The lock looks like it is covered with warts. :-(

I love the way we all love different things, the Christmas in Hawaii kit was one of my favourite kits and despite the new lock looking like it has caught something I really like it and it is definitely on my wish list! It's about time we saw a new lock that didn't have hearts or flowers, tb are becoming far too cutesy these days IMO.

Looks great, thanks!

I agree with cyberfairy some of my favourite beads are from the Christmas in Australia & Hawaii release, I am waiting on another green petal bead from the Australian release. While I like the colours of the brown kit I do not do glitter, some of the silvers look promising though.

I am most intrigued by the bangle, even with the niggling doubts I have about the holding power of the stoppers. It does look sleeker without end caps, like Chamilia's. However, it is puzzling why they did not take this opportunity to introduce more interesting/sturdier stoppers or clips. And even more puzzling about the purported price, quite a bit higher than the regular chain bracelet. I took a quick look on etsy and came across a similar bracelet. It doesn't state how thick it is and it is hammered, but the price is quite a bit less than TB's. The TB ones are produced in greater quantities (dare I say mass-produced?) which should make the them more competitive price-wise.

Surely the TB bangle will be solid, not hollow or filled with silicone? I don't mind paying for the weight.

The stoppers worry me, but I will definitely not be wearing my most beloved beads on that bangle!

I do not want to buy a hollow bracelet! I'm worried also about the stoppers. I'm really afraid I'll lose them and my beads.

I find it very hard to keep open ended bangles on my wrist. They have to fit very exactly or they twist round and slip off. I would be worried about the beads coming of the bangle and the bangle falling off me.

I love this release !!!

LOVE them! Thanks for the wonderful pictures for us all! :

I think bangle might be troublesome... in case of loose stoppers and things like that!

New pictures were added some days ago to the first post

And for those like me intrigued by the Bougainvillea... here's the source of the design...

by Ragner Jørgensen

I like these stackable rings!

Love the Christmas release!
The bangle is solid and comes in 4 different sizes. I hoping that we will see new stoppers released in the 2013 Spring release. Would prefer it in gold tho....but considering the price of the silver one ..maybe not;0)
My favorite is the darker glass kit, the diamond bead is also lovely and Bougainvillea

The stoppers are really tight on the bangle!

Do you know which size the shown bangle is?

I have just seen the dangles for sale on ebay in Germany and the silver beads and bangle. I am shocked to see them all ready.

Indeed, the size shown is a size S.

Thanks for the video on the bangle i really want one, for about a year i've been contemplating getting a Chamilia bangle i'm so glad i didn't now

I saw the Christmas beads today irl. They are really beautiful. I'm going to want more than I thought I would from the pictures.

Hmm I can't find them anymore on ebay

Yes they are gone now.

As far as I know, dealers are NOT allowed to list the new items on ebay before the official release date - but it seems, that there's always one, who does (and has to remove the listings as soon as the distributor notice it).
