Ah, the whimsy and joy of Trollbeads. If this game is played properly - with respect for the people who BUY the products - Trollbeads can be the great jewelry find of our lifetimes. Such fabulous opportunities for self-expression, such glorious colors, amazing designs, so .... shiny!! However, if they turn the cards down in glee, shooting for a win with a full-house, all the while trouncing on the customers that got them where they are now, that fragile house of cards could crumble all around the corporate infrastructure that calls itself "Trollbeads."Here's the deal: have you ever wanted Troll's Gold? Now's the time. (By the way, Troll's Gold is nothing at all like "Fools Gold." Troll's Gold actually has great value - and beauty! And it's shiny!)
As I alluded to previously, prices are going up. "Going up?" you say? "Yeah, yeah, I hear you." Well, I'm not so sure that I've really gotten the point across about the actual degree that it needs to be heard. Here's what "Going UP" actually means when I'm talking about Troll's Gold: 40%. "Did you hear that, Lucy?" "Yes, Ethel, you said 40%."

If you have ever had a taste for, a burning yearning for, Troll's Gold ... now is the time. And if you fear that you might be in line to catch a good case of "Troll's Gold Fever" - or that it's even got potential for EVER landing in your life - I suggest you take out a second mortgage and grab some Troll's Gold. If you wait, you might need to sell your husband and the kids (but always keep the dog) to afford the purchase of even one piece. Come to think of it, keep the kids and the dog, but sell the husband anyway. Trollbead Gold is more fun!
Now, listen up. I am a firm believer in paying the piper. (In this case, the piper is "Trollbeads, Inc.") Trollbeads created these things I obsess over, and they deserve to reap the rewards of their creations' successes. However, running through the fields and chopping the knees of those of us who have helped to lift them to their current (and rather lofty) status is not good. We earned the right to speak up a bit if we are about to be whacked with a 40% increase.
But, don't worry. Too much. Everything that is under the Trollbeads umbrella is not going up 40%. Take heart! It appears that the glass beads will only increase a mere 20%. (By the way, that "only" is said with tongue planted in cheek). So, let's see ... that means that glass Trollbeads will be going up ... to about $25.00. That's about what I predicted.
The announcement on the GOLD prices however, still has me in complete and total $ticker $hock.
