Jewellery making supplies

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone here who's into making jewellery has used any particular websites to order beads, findings etc?

i've recently started making jewellery myself and have gone to the bead shop in galway and bdi in bray each of which have been good but haven't stocked everything i'm looking for.

Also i'm sure it might work out cheaper to order online if the shipping costs aren't too expensive?

Would love if anyone could pass on details for websites used etc.

Thanks in advance,
Emee

I invested about $100 on various lots on ebay. Buy kits and supplies in bulk. That means 50 sets of earring findings, several lots of swarovski crystals, etc. If the power went out i could make jewlery with what I've got in my bureau drawer. Makes fabulous Christmas gifts.

Hiya I get all my tools from Riogrande its an american company if you contact them they will send you out a catalogue. Good value and fast delivery.Though you will probably have to pay import tax on big orders but its still worth it.

try auntiesbeads.com they sell in bulk but also sell in little amounts so you can experiment & they try to help us by not quiet telling the truth on the customs forms (put mine down as samples)
