Get Wholesale Jewelry Beads And Supplies

Q: Does anyone know of reputable suppliers/manufacturers that I can get sterling silver beads, supplies, etc. from? I have started a small business of making necklaces and bracelets, and need to find a couple of suppliers that I can get wholesale pricing for the beads and supplies.

A: You may also want to try www.timewellcorp.com. They only sell wholesale. So if you have a resale certificate, you can open an account with them. The initial sign up process is a bit tedious. But their prices and quality are definitely worth the effort. For example, their 5.5mm sterling silver letter bead is just $0.59 each. That is about the lowest price I can find on the internet… Then again there is www.riogrande.com for most anything you can think of in the way of findings, calibrated stones, tools, raw materials, etc.
