Holy Moly!! Have you checked the price of gold lately? :eek:

I checked a couple of weeks ago and it was hovering around $800. My last big 14K gold findings purchase was around the $700 mark. I was taking my time before reordering and looked today....and it's $859.25!!! :eek: I just had a bridal order come in and I need to restock for a few basics and wow have the prices taken a jump!!

I'm checking Kamal, GS Gold, Bella, JK, Bluepoint and Steller. If yall know of anyone else with good discounts, please let me know.

I wonder if it'll hit $1000?
 
It was $900 the other day. I had all kinds of plans for a new line that went <poof> goo-bye! :mad:
 
GS is my ace in the hole. I looked at them yesterday. They're still the best price around. You can try Hagstoz, but they have a definite lack of findings. Good on wire though. We might think about forming a buyer's group.
 
I LOVE talking to the folks at GS. My favorite findings have been from there, also. The ONE thing I had the hardest time finding was 14K WHITE gold head pins. Finally ended up buying them from Rio Grande (ouch) but now I see Bella and others are carrying them. Whew!

I've found folks really like a white gold leverback earring with a dangle pearl and I just had a nice order come in for outfitting ALL the bridesmaids! :) But whoowee are my prices gonna have to go up to compensate! :(

Who stands for "GS"? :rolleyes:

Please give us the site names of the other sites you named (Kamal, Bluepoint, JK, Steller). Are they selling to us amateurs or just to jewellers with references?

The places I trade with the most are GS Gold, Bella Findings and Stuller. The others I check prices with are Kamal Trading, Findings Depot and JK Findings.

I THINK most of these places are for business licenses only, but not sure.

If you don't have a business license, check out MonsterSlayer, Allseason, Accent Beads, ArtGemsInc.....I believe all of these folks sell to individuals also. Before I began purchasing wholesale, I purchased most of my findings from trade shows or Monsterslayer.com. :)
 
Wow, this is really useful information! Trying to find this stuff does make me crazier!

I did look at G&S Gold's site: it appeared that they have a minimum, but did not see any wholesale application.

THANKS!!!
