Your comparisons will help...when I buy my Venetians by strands and kilos, there are nearly always some other beads mixed in the strands and the Indonesian beads become more during the last years and they become closer to the originals year by year. If I would make charts of all non-Venetian beads on these strands, new Krobos would take place one, followed by older Krobos...15 years ago Indian beads would take place 3, but today I think this place is for Indonesian beads now...not often I found singles from China,India or beads of plastic, maybe made in Africa, like the blue/white/red oval left corner...Thanks again...:)
