BEADS GEMSTONES : Dear fellow beaders, I am a complete and total beginner beader. I amdrawn to the beauty of antique/vintage beads and gemstones. My questionis: can you, as an artist, tell the difference between a good qualityglass crystal bead and a gemstone bead? (Assuming roughly the samecolor, size and cut of the beads.) Should I be saving up for real rubybeads (for example) or be looking for red, better quality, crystalbeads? Sincerely, Dorothy KnightYes, you certainly can tell the difference. While it is *possible* topurchase ruby beads which are eye clean you would pay such an incrediblefortune for them, that I doubt most of us would ever even consider it. I'veseen ruby beads in the $100 - $200 range but they're still pretty murky, andcertainly don't compare to the clarity you will get with a crystal.If you're looking for clarity, go with the Swarovski's.
BEADS GEMSTONES : "Howard Brown or Dorothy Knight" wrote inmessage ...To start with, I want to let you know that you are in the right place! Thepeople here have wonderful expertise that they are very willing to share! Icame here just a month or so ago as the exact same type of beader youare.......and I have learned a lifetime full of things in just a couple ofmonths from the wonderful people here! So enjoy and remember, the people hereCAN and DO help you!As for me, I would prefer the crystal myself because I have found (in my "vast"time the past couple of months! ROFL!) that crystals sometimes look more"real" than some gemstones, cost much less, and are VERY beautiful! Now this"still-new-to-beading" person will shut up.Grandma to Krystal Galaxy Wentworth.
