A good way to avoid buying reproductions or fakes is to know and understand how the originals are made. Usually a reproduction cannot be made the same way as the original. To wide the gap in materials, labor costs and modern production techniques.
Most of this does not apply to modern fakers of faking ancient beads. That's why things are especially difficult for the buyer of ancient glass!
