Denmark Beads

Denmark beads are technically any beads that are made or designed in Denmark. Makes sense, right? The most prominent of these are Pandora beads and Troll beads.

However, just because those are the only beads to technically fit that definition, this is not what most people mean when they say or search for "Denmark beads". Most often, the speaker or the seeker is actually looking for charm beads- the lovely beads that are designed to be easily put on and removed from bracelets, necklaces, and other pieces of jewelry that are specially designed for customization.

The original Denmark beads were developed by a silversmith in Denmark in the 1970's. Many of these original beads were designed to look like troll faces, and thus, Troll Beads was born. The popularity spread, and within decades several competitors to the high class, high quality beads have sprung up, as well as many more affordable makers of charm beads.

Each of the top charm bead design companies has developed their own special charm bead bracelets and necklaces on which their beads are meant to be strung. Many of these involve a clever use of locks, twists, and clamps, to allow easy maneuvering of the Denmark beads, and to hold the charm beads in place, rather than have them sliding up and down on the bracelet or necklace.

Denmark beads are approximately the size of pony beads, and have a larger than average bead hole which allows them to be strung on actual bracelet chains, leather thongs, and so on. They can be made of any material including gold, silver, freshwater pearl, Murano glass, plastic, plated metals, wood, shells, and more. The materials and quality of workmanship as well as being name brands all effect the price of the beads.

Even though Chamilia is a new comer to the world of charm beads, and is not located in Denmark, they are the first of the charm bead manufacturers to have exclusive rights to a line of Disney charm beads. Combined with the high quality of their workmanship, this puts Chamilia charm beads right at the top of the game.

Luckily, you are literally spoiled for choice among Denmark beads.
