Beads and shopping! Two antagonistic words in the same sentence!? Just words, or a state-of-mind? My experience tells me that beads at a decent price* cannot be found in some multi-searched "bead-box" of any big city. Instead as close to the source, as close to the diggers - to say it as-it-is - as possible. It always depends on what one is looking for, of course, but rare ancient beads of value cannot be found for pennies in London, Paris, NYC or Berlin. One needs a visa, time, experience, guts for adventure and connections. * I am not sure "low prices" should be the goal for anyone. "Fair prices" sounds better to me! There's not only the buyer, there's also the seller. And he, most likely, has a bigger hole in his pocket! All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
