Trollbeads beads are beautifully crafted from different materials. Some are made from pearl, silver, gold, amber and precious stones. The most popular material for Trollbeads is stunning glass from Italy – made using a technique called lampwork. They make excellent gifts since they're so unique and each Trollbead has a story to tell – you can give a really personal and significant gift that means something really special. And, once a person is started they can build their own collection – to create jewellery to suit any mood or occasion.

The perfect gift: Building your own Trollbeads bracelet can be the perfect way to build someone a gift that reflects their personality, and the story of your relationship. It could be your best friend, your mum, your dad, your sister, your brother, or any loved one. If there's a part of their personality that really shines through, emphasise it through Trollbeads.

1. Cleaning your glass Trollbeads
To clean glass Trollbeads we advise you gently buff with a soft lint-free cloth. Do not use any commercial cleaning products or fluids as these can contain peroxide and bleach that will damage your charm beads.

2. Keeping your glass Trollbeads dry
You should never swim whilst wearing your glass Trollbeads, especially in a chlorinated swimming pool. Never immerse them in hot water or seawater. This could damage the resin settings. That means taking them off when you're doing the washing up!

3. Avoid potentially harmful products
As a general rule we recommend that you avoid contact with perfumes, creams (including hand creams), soaps, cosmetics and hair lacquer, etc. As mentioned above, never allow your beads to come into contact with chemical detergents or bleach. This means putting your Trollbeads jewellery on as last that finishing touch when you've finished with all your beautifying lotions and potions.

With care, your glass Trollbeads will stay as bright and beautiful as the day you first added them to your collection. Trollbeads are each unique works of art to be enjoyed for a lifetime.
