Default Help?
Old 03-05-2007, 01:40 PM   #1 (permalink)

Does anyone know of a website I can go to to identify the beads I have? I want to make sure I am labeling them right when I list my earrings on etsy!

Most of them were purchased at a store that gets most of their beads at bead shows. Their inventory changes almost constantly, so I don't think they would still have these same beads.

Leanna, Do you mean for the cut of some of the beads or the names of stone beads, etc? I found that michael's has a few names/ descriptions on their site. Also for stones, I came across this:



http://www.backwoodsbeadery.com/BeadTips/StoneID.h tml



(you scroll across the pics with your mouse)



Other than that, I couldn't find much. Sorry-I hope this helps some, though!

Oh! That stone helps for a few of them! I think the other might be glass, but they were kind of expensive and they look like opal so I will go look at the Michaels site to see if I see them there.

Thank You! [

[img]images/smiley_icons/hysterical.gif[/img] Leanna I have the same problem as I buy a lot of vintage and when you buy at yard sales and such I don't get any desription of the stones!!! [img]images/smiley_icons/hysterical.gif[/img] [img]images/smiley_icons/hysterical.gif[/img] I just look at sites and find the proper stones or beads and such for desriptions!! Thanks for all the sites to help with this!!



Also I use Ebay for the vintage beads and I can ususally find what I am trying to figure out on there for my descriptions for tagging!!



I'll really get into making sure I have everything labeled once my shop is opened!!
