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: Wishful Sky Tassel

Wishful Sky Tassel is a gorgeous bead in Murano glass and Sterling silver. The bead is launched with this story:
Splendid is the night. A fantastic sky where thoughts, dreams and desires disappear among the myriads of shining stars.

The designer behind the 2021 People’s Bead ‘Wishful Sky Tassel” is Gaetano Preti.

“Every little bead tells a story, conveys emotions, and contains feelings. They are small, meticulous works of art with great meaning. The idea of telling a story, your own story, by adding piece after piece of silver and glass rich in meaning, is beautiful. “

Gaetano Preti lives in Italy, in a town in Puglia called San Severo. Not far from here is the Gargano Peninsula where Gaetano used to spend wonderful summers with his grandparents and family, when he was a child. In the dark nights, Gaetano and his grandfather had long chats in the garden while lying on the sun beds watching the myriad of stars that lit up the sky. He navigated the sky with his imagination, trying to recognize the constellations and trying to find some shooting stars to make a little wish. Gaetano entrusted the stars with childhood dreams and wishes. You are never too old to look at a sky full of stars and dream. This was partly the inspiration for Gaetano’s winning design in the People’s Bead event.

Gaetano says: “For the People’s Bead event, I designed the bead ‘Wishful Sky Tassel’. I dedicate it to the people close to me, who always support me and who give meaning to my life; I also dedicate it to those who are no longer here with me and who surely live in the sky, in a star of the universe.”  

‘Wishful Sky Tassel” will be available in stores worldwide and online at www.trollbeads.com on September 3, 2021.
