14-face bead quality question

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

I just received a 14-face bead from Neeta and it is a little unshapely. Two of

the faces are so small that you can barely tell they are distinct faces--they

are slivers, only a few millimeters thick. I thought at first that it had

gotten accidentally confused with a 12-face. I wrote her and she said I can

return for an exchange. She said it as is off-season and as I had requested a

black 14-face, choices were limited. SHe'd then send a larger, "better" one

when the new crop come in. So, a few qeustions:

 

1. Would a well-formed 14-face bead perform better? Or does the size of face

really matter?

 

2. When is the new season?

 

3. Are there ever true black or nearly black beads? This one i have here is

really a striking deep rich brown--I'm assuming that's as black as they get.

 

Thanks for your kind responses!

 

love,

elizabeth

Dear Ms. Elizabeth.

 

In your mail, you have asked a question that Whether total black bead exists,

in this connection, I would like to say that, Yes, there are total or charcoal

black beads exists. As per my experience, however, most of the black beads

float in water. Black colour beads are rare. Most of the people do not use

black beads, I do not know Why ? In fact, black beads are more durable and look

beautiful. Few are of the opinion that black beads absorbs and emits more

energy, however, I do not have any idea about it. If any of the member has any

information on Black beads, I would like to request to share it with others.

 

Thanking you and with best wishes.

Dear Members,

 

Neeta has already written me regarding my questions so no need to

reply. She's kindly insisting that the bead be returned and she'll

send a new one shortly--I guess the new crop is just coming in now;

didn't want to trouble her with the return but I guess the definition

of the bead can matter. If any of you have interesting stories along

these lines (experiencing different beads of the same face working

differently), I'd love to hear.

 

For the curious, here's her reply on how "black" beads are: " Beads

get darker tone as they get older . Even if you take a light shade

bead , it will become dark with usage and by oiling . Some becomes

dark brown and some blackish . There are beads that are jet black ."

 

love,

elizabeth
