I looked up this auction. Augh. The Chanel beads are ridiculous. Shows human gullibility and inability to think for selves (ie. relying on brand tags to dictate value, social status, etc.).

I have recently discovered and fallen in love with Basha Beads. I will order with Barbara next month and am so excited. A strand of her beads? Worth $450. Chanel green glass? yuck. boring. shallow. vain. ugly.

Sorry, I can be kind of opinionated ;)
peace,

These are Basha Beads :) *sigh* I have been dreaming about them!
