Danish jewellery brand Trollbeads asked their fans and collectors to help design a new bead to the ever-growing collection of inventive beads that fit the original beads-on-bracelet concept. Once again, the event inspired followers from all around the world to share their creativity and opinion through this amazing event. The company received several thousand unique designs, 24 finalists were chosen by the fans, and then the public jury voted for one winning design!

And the winner is: Framed by Ivy

Framed by Ivy is a lovely bead in Sterling silver, and it will encompass a precious round gemstone or a pearl. The bead is launched with this story: A forever love withstands the test of time, like the faithful Ivy its bond cannot be broken.

The designer behind the 2020 People’s Bead ‘Framed by Ivy” is Amanda White.

Amanda was born in Buckinghamshire (United Kingdom) in 1976, the same year the Trollbeads story began. From a young age she developed an interest in drawing and painting. She sees creativity as a gift, a talent that she inherited from her mother. Amanda has studied Art & Design at University and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Her profession is Graphic Design, where she works as a Creative Artworker.

Her passions are nature, design and music. Amanda draws inspiration from her surroundings. It doesn’t matter if she is in a busy city or the open countryside; there is always something of interest. Her opinion is that a lifetime is not long enough to see and experience all of the beauty our planet has to offer. She enjoys long walks with her boyfriend and loves to explore new destinations and capture the memories with her camera. She has a particular fondness for mountains, lakes and rock pools.

“This design was created during a time all nations were urged to stay apart in order to protect those we love. In troubled times I found my solace by walking through the woods and countryside. During each visit I passed ivy covered trees. I admire ivy for it's determination, vigour and longevity. Against all odds the faithful ivy forms a strong bond which remains constant throughout the year. I wanted my design to symbolise the unity we share with those we love .”

‘Framed by Ivy” will be available in stores worldwide and online at www.trollbeads.com on September 18, 2020.
