Original Message:   Re: Indian Agate Beads

Hi again, I am talking about the manufacture of beads. Anyone, given the desire and the appropriate connections, can import anything from anywhere. We all know beads travel, and often very far from their place of manufacture. Once in a new location, they are either appreciated, or not. Some people like the exotic. Others are grounded in local ideas of beauty and desirability. Some beads catch on and become fads. In the instance where an imported bead becomes popular enough, for a long enough time, it comes to be seen as a "local" bead, and owners may not realize it was imported at all. JDA.
