Default Pendant bead caps

Hi all, I have received numerous requests every week for quite sometime concerning the bead caps I use on my lentil focals. I really wanted to keep it to myself as it took me some years to find them and they were a signature look I had for my lentil focals at my local shows. I decided to give up on that as the requests are too numerous. I have moved on from them so here I share.

Tierracast manufactures them but you need to get a wholesale account to purchase. It took me a few years to have them finally breakdown and give me an account. There are retailers out there but I really do not know who they are.

Actually, I just googled "tierracast pendant beadcaps" and found this source. I have done business with her and she is very good.

Enjoy!

Wouldn't these work as well ? http://www.firemountaingems.com/Shop...=T1B&WT.ac=NH1

Also, I just did a search for flat bead caps and found a bunch at Firemountain, Etsy and other places. Some the same as Gems posted.

I'm not sure why people couldn't fine them. Squid and I searched for some awhile back and came up with a few sites that had them in sterling. The links are on my old computer which my husband just wiped clean yesterday but maybe Squid still has the links.

I love dealing with Lytha Studios. Very helpful and a huge line of Tierracast. Not the cheapest but I think the best selection.

I never knew why folks didn't know where they came from either - it's not a secret that Terra Cast has always had them, and as you said, there are several places to buy them in sterling. Just google, lol. I find you do have to pry open the Terra caps a bit to fit over a lentil, but they do work.

Thank you for the info, Jacqueline--and for the additional links, Amy. This is very helpful to me and I AM computer savy! I was very confused by all the choices for Tierra Cast--and this is great information.
