<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 259462, member: 23"]I used to do beadwork and have a small collection of bags. Some beads have indeed faded with time. I made a necklace that had dark purple beads and it's now so light you can't tell what color they were. I'm not sure why that happens. This is in pretty good condition. The fringe is exceptional becasue it seems to be intact and it's usually the first thing to go. Are there any marks on the metal frame? Is it gold washed silver, for instance? I'm seeing prices that could run over $100 or more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
