I believe what Alan said with regards to the use of coloured glass in combination with genuine gemstones is quite common across many cultures.

I have encountered a mix of genuine gemstones and coloured glass on Indian dagger hilts and other Indian and Chinese artefacts.

I do not think I did say that a mix & match approach was common in many cultures Marius. I might have worded something badly, with the effect that it could be understood like this, and I'll check and see if I can find where this happened.

However, the simple fact is that I have very little knowledge in this respect about many cultures, I was only talking about Bali with certainty and Jawa with a lesser certainty.

Alan, i think you may have misread what Marius wrote. He did not suggest that YOU thought such mixing was common across many cultures. He stated that HE BELIEVES that what you said about such mixing is ALSO common across many cultures.

Yes David, you're right. I can sometimes have problems with the current practice relating to use of punctuation and syntax.
