[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3155639, member: 2844"]The beads on the Etsy bangle are probably real garnets, yours look very much like Indian glass microbeads, with their irregular shapes and sizes, and many flattened sides. The indentation around the beadhole on some of your beads, making them look like donuts, are also a sign of glass. As you can see, the Etsy beads are all round and roughly the same size, and no donut look.;) Maybe have yours tested?[/QUOTE]
