What does SRA mean?
Self Representing Artsit! That means the person who is selling the bead is also the person who made the bead. Many low cost beads are being imported from China and other countries. Unfortunately Ebay and discount stores have become flooded with these beads that tend to be low quality. Sure, some are pretty, but do you really want to put all the work into making a piece of jewelry with beads of questionable quality. Many lampwork artists include SRA in their auction listings to aid you in your search for quality beads. Watch for the SRA logo!
