When purchasing beads, you must be very careful. You don’t want to end up with beads that are not worth a thing to you. Selecting beads takes a lot of thought and I'm not talking about plastic beads that children use to make jewelry. I mean the higher quality ones used to make grown up jewelries.
Avoid cheap plastic beads. This may be suitable for some pieces, but it isn’t very durable or very flattering, for that matter. Instead, buy glass beads or Lucite beads. These beads are very sparkly and pretty. They do not have that ‘cloudy’ look of plastic beads.
Inspect the beads for imperfections if possible. Beads that are ‘lopsided’ simply won’t do. Beads that are chipped, broken, or scratched are useless. Don’t purchase these beads no matter how cheap they are. You wouldn't want your jewelry to turn out looking like a broken pieces, right?
Most beads are sold in bulk. In this case, you probably won’t have the opportunity to inspect each beads. So ask about the exchange policy. Will you be able to exchange the beads that are less than perfect? Some company may not have this kind of policy. In that case, make sure you buy from a trustworthy seller or one that has a good reputation.
