Trollbeads Announces Winner of People’s Bead Contest

The Trollbeads’ People’s Bead competition, in its 11th year, has announced the winning design.

The contest, which asks fans to design a bead, starts with thousands of submissions before narrowing it down to a selection of finalists—there were 24 in this instance—to be voted on by the brand’s fans.

The winning design (pictured) comes from Giada Manfredi, a fan from Italy who is passionate about drawing. The bead, featuring a turtle topped with a flower, has been brought to life by Trollbeads in sterling silver and is now available for purchase on the company’s website.
