OK, sounds good... museum words and marketing words

Yes, there are book and museum words, and we honor those here in this forum.

Yet there are also marketing words... the bane of the attitude mentioned above.

Still, I wish my Early 20th Century European Glass Jewelry beads had common names. My mind is lost trying to describe the distinctions between different types of loops, swirls and dots. Some of the beads on my new strand are very 'hot' on the market right now, yet they don't seem to have any particularly distinguishing names. Beads that are very similar, yet a bit different, are not 'hot'. I can't even describe the difference, it makes only a little bit of sense. We might loosely call most of them 'wedding cake beads', but some of them veer off the norm, absent the floral dots, or with fully melted flush trailings. Words, words... sometimes I feel better words are needed.
