I look for artistic character in both old and new beads. But, I have become conditioned to prefer old beads because of the forgiving softness of patina which comes with age. This softness tends to blend with more things more often.
With new things, I am more inclined to try to match. With old things, I find I can often mix-and-match successfully without as much effort.
