Mary - excellent post. I agree with your opinion 100%.

I think that this is where a lot of bead makers get into trouble. They learn how to make the bead shine and sparkle and take close ups of details in the bead that when viewed in person do not pop the same as the photos.
The buyer then views the bead as NOT the same as in the photos. Especially buyers that are unfamiliar with glass beads.
Unhappy buyer and possibly negative feedback then ensues. Monitor color differences are a problem also and I sure don't know how to fix that except with descriptions and disclaimers about monitors.
