Original Message: a collector's dilemma - learning the difference

I love chevron beads, but I haven't collected many because of my confusion between old beads and new reproductions, and because of prices for old beads. Auctions like the one leave me out completely. However, if I can own a bead that looks almost exactly the same for $5, why not?
Joyce, I have 4 large Chinese chevron beads, each strung on separate heishi shell strands. Gotta love those huge holes. I've been wearing one or the other if them recently. The bead receiving the most comments is the yellow/white/black bicone included in the box of mixed goodies I won from you on BCN last year. Thank you!
