lidybeff asked: I’ve got quite a lot of them, but don’t know how to tell if they are the real deal. They look right and they feel cold to touch, but they seemed a bit cheap to be real.
How do I tell ?

my2centsworth asked: I just started playing with beads last year, making necklaces and earrings, and I already have a lot of beads that I’m not sure I’ll ever use. Are there any sites for trading these beads, maybe something grab-bag style? It seems like it would be a good idea. I belong to a paperback book swap and I’ve saved a ton of money doing that, maybe swapping beads would be good too. Any suggestions?
