Hi Stefany,

"Why judge something as fake just because its inexpensive?

I did not say that everything cheap is fake, obviously from the image posted I provided visual comparison between a genuine and a fake. And, while I would love to find an ancient Roman face bead in a 2.00 junk bag at a flea market, I know the probability is very, very slim. I too know how to hunt under-represented beads at junk sales and do it on a regular basis, finding good beads for pennies on the dollar. The fake face bead pictured was sold by a professional dealer in the U.K. And, I only refer to a bead as fake when it is misrepresented as genuine.
