[QUOTE="quirkygirl, post: 97568, member: 106"]Thank you for that information Pat ... and for showing your beads, too. All morning I've been 'surfing' trying to get a definitive explanation of how saphiret and sappharine differ. Not getting much info ... and not getting any two definitions that absolutely corroborate each other. :( I get what you're saying about foiled vs un-foiled ... and I [I]think[/I] the set 'stones' on mine are foiled (new photo to follow) ... but how to explain the dangling ball of the same glass? The following link is to a bracelet very similar ... although the shape of the prongs holding the stones are different.
