Suppliers
Here we go, the place where I buy most of the beads, crystals, and tools that I use for my jewelry.
ONLINE
- Artbeads (http://www.artbeads.com) - For your silver and Swarovski crystal needs. They have no minimum order requirements, let you buy per single item, and charge no shipping! I buy from here often.
- Craftland (Ebay seller ID: craftland-dot-net) – I get my Czech seed beads from here (buy-it-now option). They have a superb array of colors and shipping is $2.25 for the first item, every item after that is free.
- Beadaholique (Ebay seller ID: beadaholique) – Silver and their Czech glass beads. They have of everything. Shipping is $1.10 and 0.25 each additional item. Again I generally use the buy-it-now feature… but if you can get them at their beginning bid prices, then go for it. But really… buy-it-nows are better. In the biddings the prices will usually go a little higher.
- Silver Sage Creations (Ebay seller ID: sterlingfindings) – Gold filled materials from their buy-it-now feature (eye pins, head pins, crimp beads)… very good quality, wonderful packaging to ensure that the products arrive just as they looked in the picture, and shipping is $1.25 for the first item and 0.25 for each additional.
- Beads Wild – (http://www.artisan-international.com/) - Hemp, they have a nice stock and fair prices. Shipping starts at $4.50
- B. Toucan Inc. - (http://www.btoucan.com/) - Hemp by the KILO! Extremely economical this way. They also explain the differences among twine, cord, and thread. I have no idea on shipping per area, the site does't say.
- Mama’s Minerals (http://www.mamasminerals.com/) - Rocks, rocks and more rocks. The pearl prices are among the best that I have found. Shipping starts at $5.70
- Jewelry Supply (http://www.jewelrysupply.com/) - They have very good prices on tools, boxes, and other display items. No minimum order requirements and shipping starts from $7.00. I haven’t bought anything from here yet, but I have them in my favs list because of their prices.
NON-ONLINE PLACES
- Michael’s for my Beadalon needs
- Wal-Mart for wood and bone beads
