| Original Message: Beads Gone Wild.......the continuous saga of online misrepresentations..... |
|---|

In an effort to aid in the education of collectors, I will be posting as many beads currently being misrepresented in online auctions and for sale on certain websites. I hope anyone else with images of current production beads being sold as Vintage, Antique or Ancient will add to this thread! There are authorities more qualified than I, who can go into detailed explanations as to what all of these beads are, one thing I can guarantee with accuracy, is that these are all less than 10 years old! Enjoy the show......Thomas Picture #1 is an overview of my worktop covered with currently manufactured beads Picture #2 is a tighter shot of the same...... Notice I don't say these are "Fake" beads, they are real beads but not old as is claimed! "Modern" wouldn't apply well either.....so I will keep with the term "current production".....
