"Handmade, US Lampwork"????

There is somebody on eBay selling beads in this catagory, and "confirming" the
listing by saying it is made by her with any of three premium glass brands,
with a specific mandrel size (but also as "large holed"-- larger than that
mandrel) and kiln annealed.

They look like somewhat "selected" and cleaned up Indian lampwork to me.

Couldn't get the URL to cut & paste (AOL "helpfulness" thing...), but one of
her auction titles is: ARTEMIS (14) Lampwork FRIT & FLAIR Blues & Reds Lg Bead

Comments? Does eBay even care, as long as it's not an auction winner
complaining?

Hi Kaytee.

I'm not really sure what to say about the auctions. One of them did
look like it had a lot of Indian glass but also looks like there might
be some non-mass produced beads in there too. I don't quite understand.

The large beads do look like the style of some imported glass I've seen,
but never in that shape, with the smeared looking murrini and more
organic feel of the colors and twisties being random, but who knows?
Could it just be a style or lack of? Dunno. I'm not going to judge
what it is because if they can do it in India, why couldn't they here?

I guess one could test it and send them through an annealing cycle and
see if they explode. Or drop 'em on the floor and see if they crack or
shatter.

I did notice when clicking around the other auctions is that one of them
for some gold toggle clasps actually had the wrong description left from
another of the kitty clasp auctions.

So, whatever the deal, it wasn't checked over very closely.

It does look suspicious but like Lori said it's hard to tell.

I agree - it's hard to tell. No matter what, hopefully the low selling
prices will force this seller to either stop misrepresenting beads, or to
get better at making them.

I saw that! You've got to find a way to pay for your fix of Saucybeads. Don't I
know that!

Nevertheless, the bracelet is a jumbled mess. It might have a pretty saucybead
in there somewhere but it's covered in a lot of crap. I'm shocked she got a
bidder, unless they're just planning to take it apart and make something a
little more pleasing to the eye.
