One is that Trollbeads is the first major company to create this design concept, which was in 1976. Secondly, when you look at the designs closely, you'll notice that each design is original--that is, the designers do not copy designs that have been manufactured by other companies.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />With that in mind, here is a bead that is inspired one of the oldest civilizations.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#009900;">Aztec</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheAxoTy0BwXXDSxIUJ2VLYUygY1-LL7JV0CDcJD_jHdIIuZ9fvN6wY8nFMO8UFGhGnNG2CoD7Mpet035GTzvFpsOBGXdfXltE5IHqoA76UwML9ULIbRwgCUjUlnkoF2aIQuhavI0JYzI8/s1600-h/11102.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359618553867703266" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 236px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 236px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheAxoTy0BwXXDSxIUJ2VLYUygY1-LL7JV0CDcJD_jHdIIuZ9fvN6wY8nFMO8UFGhGnNG2CoD7Mpet035GTzvFpsOBGXdfXltE5IHqoA76UwML9ULIbRwgCUjUlnkoF2aIQuhavI0JYzI8/s320/11102.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />The inspiration for this bead in cast sterling silver is found in native Aztec pottery.

Not necessarily to eat, but to look at. Fish are calming influences, which is probably why they're in so many doctors' and dentists' offices. And although I tend to prefer larger Trollbeads, I can't help but like this one. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJBFbwN5PNaVots3VvWRzYrQIGFmKnCH4EyCRNMjuHUrti5Fhc1Bsgsm9MHmEvGLkVWyJZm0mw5Ymz1h2SSSjJdiooIjel66gKGcuWLkBTAYiw-di1D9vLjD0zylH8ewmvYlbvGh-6qBE/s1600-h/fish.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355906237872960258" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 236px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 236px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJBFbwN5PNaVots3VvWRzYrQIGFmKnCH4EyCRNMjuHUrti5Fhc1Bsgsm9MHmEvGLkVWyJZm0mw5Ymz1h2SSSjJdiooIjel66gKGcuWLkBTAYiw-di1D9vLjD0zylH8ewmvYlbvGh-6qBE/s320/fish.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;">Happy Fish, Silver</span></div><div><br />Look, when you asked me how I knew the fish were happy, you already knew that I knew the fish were happy.

I haven't even started on uplading the jasper beads onto our website--it seems like it takes a while to do). But so far, I have some of the amber beads and most of our limited edition glass Trollbeads.
