This is my necklace. And I added some newer ones. The difference was well described by Chris: "What I see is a difference in lampworking technique - on the older beads, the red/green/yellow trails are added as "frames" for the starburst murrine, often assuming a rather squarish overall outline, or circling the ends of oval beads. They seem to be conceived as squiggly lines of color. Whereas on the newer beads, the accent trails often appear to be dotted dabs. Another difference is glass texture - the older beads seem to be mostly smooth and opaque, even semi-tranlucent or milky in appearance. No gassy, bubbly tomato red or transparent green glass, for example. Bubble gum and toffee versus transparent lollipop sugar candies…" All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
