You've got a point Anne, but I still would like them to call a spade a spade, and it often does not take long before misrepresentation goes hand in hand with phenomenal prices....
And yes buy a bead because you like it, fake or no fake, but pay accordingly. It is the same with antique furniture, ethnic items... you should get the quality you are paying for.
And a fake bead can indeed still be a beautiful bead. I fully agree.
For me the faking/copying techniques themselves in general are very interesting on their own. It shows resourcefulness and sometimes great craftmanship.
