Purchasing CFWP

[amanes1]

Hi everyone, I am new here. I was interested as to whether anyone could tell me where to find some nice, round freshwater pearls that are not already on finished strand? I have seen many places that are wholesale but, seeing as I do not intend to start a business, I am not able to utilize these sources. I have checked out many other beading places and can't seem to find anything that I am looking for. Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome!

I looked at your profile to see where you are-- I'm in the USA and I get my unstrung pearls mostly at gem shows, especially the InterGem show (International Gem and Jewelry Show.) You could see what shows are coming to your area.

You could also contact the vendors here on Pearl-Guide and see what they can sell you....

Hi Amanes1,
Welcome to the forum.
I can thoroughly recommend Amrita for unfinished strands of freshwater pearls.
I bought several various strands from her and am delighted with the quality which is very good indeed.
