Trollbeads day 2020

As it happens since 2014, also this year the long-awaited Trollbeads Day is about to arrive. On sale from July 25th, at a cost of € 55.00 each, six etched glasses with intense colours that closely remind me of Engraved glass beads. This release is simply called Trollbeads Day 2020, even if the six glass beads have an individual name. Therefore, we have Trollbeads Plum Tree, Trollbeads Mint Mesh, Trollbeads Lime Leaves, Trollbeads Blueberry flower, Trollbeads Raspberry Bush and Trollbeads Honey Bee. Each bead has a different etched design, creating a frosted effect in the glass. Here below there is a preview with some pictures, published on Instagram by Trollbeads Malaysia.

In my opinion, it isn't a very celebratory kit, but rather a kit that I would have seen better in a summer collection. The design of the glasses is not very original and it reminds me of the Engraved and Anemone glasses. For such an important event, I would have chosen a single bead, significant or perhaps innovative for the search of a new material, as it was last year with the porcelain kit. Maybe the reason is that I have never particularly liked Engraved glass beads, but this year Trollbeads missed this opportunity.
I have to say, however, that the bright colours of this kit are very beautiful, although, as always, I wait for seeing them in person.
What are your thoughts about these glass beads? Would you buy them?
