I've had fun with the under £10 day today. They had a wide variety of Murano glass, other than necklaces, that weren't pretending to be anything other than glass and strictly fun pieces. So far I've nabbed six, which may be my lot as it's slowly descending into the 'orrible dyed agit territory, but it's a definite thumbs up from me for this fun and up-to-date type of costume jewellery as opposed to poor quality "pretending to be something it isn't" stuff. I also liked knowing what price I was going to pay as opposed to sitting there for hours like a proper twit waiting for a price that's turns out to be unacceptable or unaffordable which leads to disappointment.
These are what I have bought but, as usual, the images do them no service whatsoever. I wouldn't have bought any of these from the catalogue if I hadn't seen them live. They are bright, extremely pretty and the red and white one is a particularly disappointing image as, whilst the white is opaque, the red is transparent, with a beautiful ribbon of black and gold running around the centre. Similar story with the blue/green piece at the beginning. Loss of contrast between opaque and traansparent and no sign of gold. I also have the same in pink as the all blue one (No.2), the beads that look odd are in fact properly matching but with an ab coating that hasn't liked the lighting used for imaging. A shame really as, if you haven't seen them, you'll not appreciate the vibrance of them.
All sold out apart from the odd bits that haven't been finalised for whatever reason (and not many). I, unusually, completed the sale individually after each auction in order to protect them. I generally can't be bothered with all the palaver and wait for my basket to fill or just prior to time out.
