Hi I am new to this art and would very much appreciate your help. I am looking to find suppliers of jewellery bits and bobs to make costume accessories and don't know where to look!
Thanks!

www.beadsunlimited.co.uk or www.beadsdirect.co.uk are great uk sites and a great american one is www.firemountaingems.com

Also search on the internet for any local bead shops in you area. Ebay is always a good place if theres something specific you have in mind.

Hope this helps

I love buying from shops on etsy.com! Because they often will let you buy as many/little as you want. And shipping is very low. Thats where I always by my jewelry supplies. Just make sure you double check where the store your buying from is located, if you purchase from one in asia they usually take a lot longer to get to you. Thats my expirience anyway Happy Good luck!

I agree with Crafty Geek on ebay. I buy everything from there as its incredibly cheap. I also love all the tibetan silver charms and beads they have on there

Hobby Lobby sells a lot of nice jewelry stuff. Depending on where you live, Pat Catan's has nice stuff, too.

Yardsellr is good, too, especially if you have a lot of the currency they give you for signing up. I usually save mine up and buy things that won't cost me more than $2 in the end. I got an $8 strand of sage amethyst for $2.50 I think.

I like beadsunlimited.com for findings and usually look out for broken jewellery in my local charity shops. I also like wires.co.uk for my wire and bluestreakbeads.co.uk for gemstone beads.

The place where most of etsy stores get their supplies from is www.zacoo.com and dorabeads.com. Ive used both of them and even though they ship from china they are very fast, you get your items within a week!
Hope that helps x
