A Troll bracelet was a type invented in Denmark. They are generally made of metal and the original ones look like they are made of woven strands of wire. They are flexible and have a circular cross section. At one end of the bracelet the catch comes off so you can thread on troll beads.
Troll beads are round like polo mints or rubber rings. Some are beautiful glass with metal lining the hole. Others are metal charms. There are many designs...
You can go to Troll Beads or Lovelinks to see quite a lot... There are other sellers too...
