Description from Judiahaha: I know it's probably happened to most of you: I recently had a huge bead spill! So I painstakingly picked them all up, and promptly spilled them again! Arrgh! Now I can't tell the difference between the sterling and plated silvers. Is there a way to tell the difference? I have my beads organized; these were the beads in little piles on a bead board that I was working on. I flipped the board accidentally.

Chicky Red-haired Grammy says:Oh, yes! Be sure to check under all the furniture… and I don’t know how to sort sterling from plated. Sorry. Good luck!

Mary S - Sweet Chick says:Twice!!
Yikes! So frustrating!!
Wish I could help with sorting your metals, but I’m not sure either.
I once had three containers of gemstones(17 compartments each container) fall on the floor and spill! Sending hundreds of beads rolling across the floor and then bouncing down the loft stairs into the living room below. It took hours to sort and I’m still finding stray beads now and then! I feel your pain!

Judiahaha says:I’m so glad I’m not alone. I feel I can’t use those beads that I’m not sure of being silver or plated on any pieces I sell or give away. What a mess
And yikes, Mary, what a spill you had!
