Someone had pictures of beautiful floral vermeil findings that had copy right issues but the site listed wouldn't come up. ?? Where else can those be found?

I mainly use bella findings. I also shop locally at a jewelers' supply store called southeastern findings. They have an online store but they're in my town so I go in person. Rio grande might as well be retail, their prices are so high, ALTHO I have purchased an occasional thing or two because I couldn't find it anywhere else. I have used Fire Mountain to purchase french bullion.
Ginger Rogers did the exact same thing as Fred Astaire, only she did it backwards and in heels!
I have bought some from Bella's and they have a great selection at good prices. However, their shipping is a bit pricey and quality is a mixed bag. I bought a stardust silver ball clasp and it was white with scaling. Other pieces have been great though.
Artbeads.com has good basics, especially sterling, but no karat gold. I use Nina Designs and Rio Grande, too.

They are in the UK - good value, fantastic quality, next day delivery or collection. Fantastic company.
For example, if you want silver wire, they have 149 different types - different shapes, sizes, softness, etc.
There is another thread on findings, worth a look as there may be more names there.
I love reading some of the descriptions at BeadFX - they obviously have a good sense of humour over thereAnd Stuller has nice things as well..plus gold items which a lot of bead stores aren't carrying now.
