Since Im getting beads too...
I like all colors, czech glass beads, vintage glass and crystal beads, natural stones, and lampwork glass.
I dont like bone beads (too creepy) eye beads (way too creepy). Plastics, no so much on Lucite.
I am currently looking for Light or pale purple faceted crystal or glass beads in 6 and 8mm rounds. Anything Fushia, especially crystals. Seed beads in shiny finishes and in any color, again fushia, purple, matte light green, light and dark blue. Stone cabachons in any size. Large glass teardrop beads (for pendants) in any color, especially purple.
I am allergic to gold and gold plate. I can only use sterling in my ears.
