Question Omega by the foot????

Hello Everyone!

This is my first time posting anything here in the world of Lampwork Etc., but I have admired many of your beads and gained a great deal of knowledge about lampworking by reading your threads.

Now, I have a question. I've already done a search, but didn't come up with the exact thing I am looking for.

I would like to find a distributor of Sterling Silver Omega Chain by the foot (anywhere from .75mm-1.5mm). I did order some SS Cable in 6' lengths not long ago - I like it, but would like to get more like 30-40'. I have a resale certificate, so wholesale distributors isn't a problem.

Does anyone have any suggestions or sources for this?

I appreciate any and all help.

Thanks,
Dana

Tried Rio Grande? (you probably have, laff!) They do lots of chain by-the-foot.

I just checked the Monster website. They have snake chain, but no omega.
Arrgh.... I'm sure someone has to have it

I saw the snake chain, and a chain that they call cable. But, the cable I'd settle for is just like the omega except it just sterling silver cable. It is still a stiff cable - perfect for stringing the beads on...... holding them in place, not letting them droop.

I may have to break down and go to Italy to find it (oh, how I wish that was even an option)
