Strange though how most a speo beads known to me -but maybe that says more about me- are layered drawn black, blue with white.... I guess these visuals fooled me and fed my ignorance.

What about millefiori beads with rounded ends: I never seem to have read these were a speo; or oval striped beads or those oval melon beads, these should be a speo beads as well I thought. Can't remember them being described as a speo... or have I missed something else?

Can't you get the same rounded effect via lampwork, and how do you see the difference,.... or am I looking for trouble now ;-)
