Buying Beads On The Web: What You See Is Not Always What You Get
You know how you are sitting before the television set, and you view a commercial for a burger, and it is the best thing you have ever seen? Then you go to the restaurant, and it doesn't appear anything like what was shown on TV. Not to point out it doesn't taste excellent, but it never looks the same. This can be true when you buy beads online. In my view your chances are better with the beads when compared with the burger.
It is quite common with beads, that the visual you see on the web, is enlarged, so that you see color and detail better. On that point it is also lit for the picture with many bright, lights set up to make a perfect lighting effect. Reality is generally different than the commercial we are shown.
Where size is involved, that is a thing you learn with experience. I recommend keeping a ruler on hand. Don't laugh, in America, although we are trained in the metric system, it still isn't well known. Most, if not all beading dimensions, are specified in millimeters. Millimeters can seem very small if you aren't conversant in them, but a ring with a five millimeter setting in it can be very big on the wrong hand. Have the ruler handy at first so that you can quickly check it to get a better idea of size when you buy beads online. It might not be a bad idea to keep it with you, to measure beads in a store, so you get a better opinion of what five millimeters represents in three dimensions.
Don't forget the lights I pointed out either. A navy blue stone on the web might look pretty much perfect for your project, but once at home, and in the normal lighting of your living room, it could be so dark as to look like black. Sparkle is the same way. Although it may be impressive on the screen, it just might lose it's pizazz as it arrives at your door.
I am not suggesting you not to buy beads online, quite the contrary. On line always allows you to buy in bulk and reduced prices. But it will take some acclimation to obtaining your materials this way.
