This Trollbeads blog brings a little Trollbeads pre-fall 2017 inspiration with an orange and grey combination.
Those of you who follow me on social media (Facebook, Instagram and the VALINOR Boutique Facebook and Instagram pages,) will know that during the past week, I’ve been showcasing bangle combinations based on the Pantone colours for autumn 2017. One of the staple shades for the fall season is neutral grey and I’ve been representing it with the True Beadz Shadow glass. Shadow is lighter than the Pantone suggested shade but frankly there’s been so little grey glass beads represented amongst the larger brands that I’m still happy.

Grey is being used to underpin a few other key autumn shades. One of those is autumn maple, a burnt orange shade. The closest I’ve actually found in terms of glass is the True Beadz Pumpkin. Aside from the social media images, I made two complete bangles to showcase here. One features the True Beadz Pumpkin and Shadow, the second I tried to make using Trollbeads glass and stones. Trollbeads haven’t featured much here recently, purely because there hasn’t been much in the way of new products.
Trollbeads Pre-Fall 2017 Inspiration
The glass used here is far darker than the autumn maple shade Pantone are recommending for fall. Unfortunately most of the Trollbeads orange glass are very bright colours. I have to confess I do prefer the True Beadz version of this bracelet (and I’ll showcase that tomorrow) but it’s been so long since I’ve shown any real Trollbeads inspiration that I wanted to try.
The bracelet uses a retired Trollbeads Orange Armadillo, a retired Pumpkin and two of the limited edition Royal Orange glass. The grey colour comes predominantly from Agate Dendritic stones which I love. I’ve included the Stone Flower from the Rocky Beach Kit but like every other bead line, Trollbeads do lack grey.
It’s almost a pure Trollbeads bracelet though I have included the Redbalifrog Calla Lily
