I do understand that people might want the replica to look as close to original as possible, and by that choose to not alter from the original.
Although I love the idea of pearly princess wands, but my OCD brain would go mad if I had one pearly among the rest of the glittery wands with my princesses (although, noone says its impossible for the princesses to have TWO wands, one glittery and one pearly
)
And I really admire the replicas done. the people making them are really talented ( I wish I had that talent as well)
All I'm asking for is just one little mark as replica
Maybe it could be an idea of collecting a list of "marks", as maybe a list of all replicas would be quite big I guess, but a list of "if your accessory contains a heart shaped paint mark (like bright rabbit wrote above) then i'ts a custom piece made by bright rabbit, or something like that.
