To answer your first concern: on the forum here it can be frowned upon, more specifically if you ask "hey, how do you think they did that." Many will tell you to message the seller and ask yourself.

That said... the description says "black metallic glass".
Could be:
Dark Silver Plum (though I've not had it make those golden hues).
Maybe TAGs Black Nebula? I have NO idea what that stuff does.
There is a vetrofond metallic black, but I don't know what that does, either.

Those beads are awesome, though!

Why post someone elses beads to ask here what color she used? Why not ask the maker herself??

There's a possibility it could be the devardi metallic black, too.

I think it is okay. She didn't just take the photo and post it here...she linked to her auction. It's public as it is so she didn't do anything wrong with it. Plus it may have given the seller exposure.

The beads are gorgeous, and she got some amazing color out of that!

I read in her auction it was a metallic black, but I wasn't aware there was an actual glass called "metallic black." Oddly enough, I found it in another thread last night, and wondered the same thing. I asked the poster what the glass was, and I'm sure I sounded like a total 'tard not knowing there was a metallic black!

Well, that's next on the glass order list!
