Findings Revisited

[danachit]

Thank you for your input regarding 14K GF vs. Vermeil.

I've been perusing Bells's and Stullers and there was another really good manufacturer but for the life of me, I can't remember the name.

Any other findings company that sell wholesale? Thanks!

CGM, Rio Grande, A & A jewelry

Rio Grande has a lot of findings and they are easy to buy from.

Grassman and Blake is another really good one.

Do you mean Blake Brothers? They had excellent prices. Rio Grande has a great selection but whoa, nellie on the prices! Looks practically retail...

I think he meant Grassman-Blake. I found their site but didn't have time to look yet.

I have been going back and trying to work my way through all of the threads .. this is very helpful as the sites are excellent. Only problem I have with the Grassman-Blake site (outstanding selection of clasps - big Thank You Jeremy) is that there is no price list and I can't see anywhere to register for the site. I tried to email them but it got kicked back as not valid. Sales@gbclasps.com is what I used. Any suggestions? Thanks

I haven't visited their site in a while, but I know it has always been a bit antiquated. You should try calling or emailing them, and you may need to set up a wholesale account to buy from them. You should also try Stuller. They have a big selection of findings, but you'll also need to set up an account with them.

Thanks for that Jeremy, I do have an account with Stuller which is great, I just didn't know why I couldn't get an email though to G&B. I suppose they might have changed it and not changed it on their site. It is a pretty unsophisticated site. thanks again

Findings companies around the world seem to have at least some aspects of 19th century business practices.

and who is Bruce Brazee of Direct Findings? Useful things for non-professionals at Direct Findings? I can't seem to get far here.

Sorry Maus! This certainly doesnt qualify as a quick reply! I only just saw this post when I was looking for something else. The price is 55.79 for the top one and around 15.38 for the bottom one.
