Please take my apology for wrong descriptions about the age of some pieces, I have shown here before. Nothing was shown because of itīs age, itīs worth or for collectible reasons, only, as I said to Jürgen, for itīs own beauty from my point of view.
My start as a seller on eBay and finding this forum happens the same year and during the first years I tried, to separate strictly one from the other, for that reason, that I didnīt want to make this forum to a place of commerce and promotion. But from time to time I sell and sold to members (are you that Uwe...?)..., and all clients on eBay are and were invited to take part on this forum from the first time. I know, that many clients are „lurkers“ here this way, but so all became mixed up....
Handling the beads, and since some time the silver/enamel jewlery too, is the perfect counterpoint to my work as a social worker, and to make pictures and showing them here is part of my joy, just for fun, for me and, I am hoping (and knowing...), for others too. Oh yes, I am glad and proud like a child, if I have found something, that is rare even for our well known and well sorted collectors here, but it has never been my intention, to make something more worthful by a wrong description. Everyone who feels fooled by me will get his money back of course.

And a word to those, who donīt speak here....I always descripe this forum to others as a place, where friendly people are sharing knowledge...You will have to read a lot more, before you will find another thread, where the conversation is likely harsh. So donīt be scared, itīs still the best and nicest place for beadcollectors and interested people!!! Again thanks to Joyce and David for making this possible!
The bead goes on, and as long, as it will be fun for me and others, my postings too...Uwe
