lucy, are the beads glass? F&W! BTW, in case no one else has told you, it's important to get your Verifications done...Buyers trust you more, make more bids and bigger ones! Look under your name at top of page...see the circles? The empty ones need to be colored in, except the last 2 on the left which will automatically fill in once you've listed and fulfilled enough auctions. To color in your verifications, click on a circle and follow directions...also you can go here: http://www.listia.com/account/verify where you can get it all done at once. Hope it helps! Namaste! Victor ;-)>
