oops, I guess I misunderstood the post. I hope someone here gets it and gives it a lovely home.

I wonder if the person who bought the first one is now selling it? How dishonest not to mention the hole!

I think it was Joolz that bought the Crane with the hole in the wing,
She posted about buying it 01348

I would sooo love a Crane. Looks like he is going for big £££ already. Couldn't see the hole, but way out of my budget already. 01351

The listing describes the Crane as being in excellent condition. I disagree about the hole theory. To me the 'hole' is in fact, a shadow.

I can see what you mean 01352

I agree with Kathleen, That Crane doesn't look "Perfect" 01352

trollpotty · Posted: Sat Jul 31, 2010 9:33 am Post subject:

There's only one way to know for sure and that is to ask, just as someone did with the Aldabra bead.

Marie · Posted: Sat Jul 31, 2010 9:39 am Post subject:

You're right Kathleen, it looks dented!

merlesen · Posted: Sat Jul 31, 2010 1:10 pm Post subject:

I think it's a fake 01353_1

Is it just me or are the legs on the crane more "rounded" than on the original?

These fake beads are scary! I was looking for a crane, now I know I have to be extra careful!! 01352

Before I bid on mine I looked at various photos of the Crane with a magnifying glass to compare.
I imagine that the one I have probably had an air bubble in the silver when it was poured into the mould, hence the hole in it's wing. It could also have been sold as an imperfect bead. I'm sure that silver beads can vary in production as they are finished by hand .... I remember reading somewhere that someone was unhappy with their daisy bead as the detail and finish was not very good compared to others 01351

I honestly think it could be a shadow. I take at least 25 pics of each jewelry item I make and hope to get 2-5 good ones. Light can play funny tricks on sterling silver.

Difficult to tell from the pics !

I tend to think it's only a shadow or reflection in the first pic, but I am not sure about the second pic.
On the other hand, if it's not a flaw in the first pic and both pics are taken from the same bead, why shold there be something wrong in the second pic?

Confusing - and the pics aren't very clear........
