Trollbeads UNIQUES are one-of-a-kind glass beads handmade individually by 100% artisan-owned workshops in India and Lithuania. The one-of-a-kind UNIQUES glass beads offered at Suzie Q Studio also include a colour-coordinated Trollbeads leather bracelet.


Many years ago, Trollbeads co-founder/designer, Lise Aagaard, had a life-changing moment when she read an article that said: “If you really want to help people in developing countries, you must teach them what it is that you are successfully doing.” An idea suddenly came to Lise: “We can do that. At Trollbeads, we know how to make glass beads. We can teach them.” And this is exactly what she did.

The first workshop in Dharamsala, India, was a huge success and inspired the creation of the one-of-a-kind glass beads called “UNIQUES”! Each glass bead is individually handmade in a red-hot open flame, and quite often, 100 steps are involved in creating each of the UNIQUES.

There are now workshops in Tibet, India, Malawi and Lithuania, which are 100% owned by the artisans. Each workshop infuses the UNIQUES beads with their own style, culture and aesthetics, bringing them to life as miniature pieces of art! For more inspiring info on Trollbeads UNIQUES, please check out our Blog Post by clicking >>> A Love Affair with UNIQUES.

The one-of-a-kind UNIQUES glass beads offered here at Suzie Q Studio also include a colour-coordinated Trollbeads leather bracelet, plus a booklet about the UNIQUES story, which is only available while quantities last.
