WHAT ARE UNIQUES?

The Uniques is a heart-warming story that involves a joint venture between Trollbeads and artisans around the world.

The story started in Dharamsala, India, and the concept was originated out of a vision of infusing commerce, hope and new life into communities that would not otherwise have had the opportunity.

Uniques beads are all like unique art pieces of artisan glass. All beads are handmade in front of a red-hot, open flame. The first workshop has evolved into other small self-sustained businesses, including a dairy and a tailor’s shop, providing jobs for hundreds of people. Today the Uniques are a vital part of the extensive Trollbeads jewellery collection. The Uniques are artisan glass jewellery beads with many variations, that people all over the world have gotten a deep interest and passion for. The glass beads can be used to adorn bracelets, bangles, necklaces, hair jewellery and even some of our rings and earrings, creating customizable unique jewellery designs.

How does the voting rounds work? 

Voting Round 1: Vote for the 24 finalists.

You will be presented with two designs at a time. Choose the one you think is the most excellent. In case two designs are equally beautiful, or not your taste, just click the “I cannot decide” button. 

You will then be presented for the designs in combination with other submissions later in the voting. You can keep on doing this for as long as you want. The result of this round will be the 24 finalists.

Voting Round 2: Vote for your 3 favourites.

The 24 finalist have been chosen and now you need to vote for your top 3 among them to help us find the winners! The images of the beads with the most votes in total will win.

Cross your fingers – maybe your favourites will be the winning Uniques!
