Elfbeads was created by Paul Krans in 2013 and get started in 2014. His vision was to create a brand with different designs in both glass and silver beads. During summer 2013 he met Suzanne Slotboom, a fanatic Lampwork Artist with her own glass design studio. Paul only had to ask her once to join him on his Elfbeads adventure. And so they started working together to create new glass beads while Paul was taking a short Goldsmith course during the summer to design his own silver beads. At the end of 2013 almost 100 beads were created and they felt ready to show their work to the market.
Opposite to other brands, Elfbeads mainly focuses on glass design. The collection includes around 200 pieces. And also unlike other brands, Elfbeads will have a smaller collection, so it can focus on more exclusive designs.
The production is based in the Netherlands. From design to finished piece, each stage of the process takes place in this small and unique country. Each bead is handcrafted and finished to the highest standard using the best materials and techniques. The premium quality glass beads are made of the best glass from all over the world and are fitted with a universal core to fit all European bracelets. The silver beads are made from (925) sterling silver and finished to the highest standard.
“Design is different here, as we both think in opposite directions. When I think left and up, Suzanne thinks down and right. It’s pure chaos from time to time, but we always end up laughing! But a fact is, that when Suzanne and I work together, something magical happens: Out of the chaos rises Elfbeads: Enchanting, Legendary, Fabulous!”
