Where do you buy silver findings?

[glassyeyed]

I need to buy various sterling silver findings, saucers, rounds, ear wires, clasps, head pins, jump rings, etc. Where do you recommend? I'm thinking of Jewelrysupply.com. Has anybody ever dealt with WholesaleSilverOutlet.com? They are very cheap, but no returns. What do you think?

Where do you live? I try to buy larger quantities of supplies at shows that come to my area (esp. wholesale ones) where I know the prices are going to beat anything I can get elsewhere...

Other places I've bought are rio grande, rings and things, and fire mountain...just depends on what I need and what I see.

Sometimes you can get good deals through bulk buys...

I live in Minnesota. I will check out the shows when they come to town, but for now I was looking for an online source. Local bead stores are way too expensive.

Yeah...retail supplies are not the way to go...

Somewhere in here there is a list of sources I believe.

I know everyone probably already knows and maybe uses firemountain but they are great on buying bulk. I think their prices are good and they have an unlimited return policy...yes that is true. If you buy 25 sets of clasps and in 6 months, 2 years what ever you decide you want to return 20 of them they will, no questions asked! But hands down local shows are the way to go if you can load up a few times a year.

Thanks everybody for your input. Guess I'll take another look at Fire Mountain.
