Vermeil Beads and Fingerloop braids

[mmcnealy]

I've been looking at vermeil beads for a project, and FireMountain seems to have drastically raised their prices on them. So I found this new source on the web, direct from Bali! Haven't ordered any yet, but the prices, even with shipping, seem reasonable.

Also, online is the Fingerloop braid site, home of the source material for the CA #108, except the website has color pictures of the braids! Very nice when trying to pick out a braid to use in an application.

I like this one http://www.plasabali.com/pages/beads_view.asp?sku=V1200
Very close to what I want (If you do an order, let me know, I'd love to get 10 of these!). Now if only I could find nice gold huge pomanders beads to match!

I found a source for big semi-precious stones though and just ordered some 20mm jasper and 20mm garnets from them (they are in HK) - http://search.stores.ebay.com/Mandys-Gemstones_18mm-round-beads-20mm-round-beads_W0QQfcdZ2QQfciZQ2d1QQfclZ4QQfromZR10QQfsnZMandyQ27sQ2bGemstonesQQsaselZ166769541QQsatitleZQ2818mmQ20roundQ20beadsQ2c20mmQ20roundQ20beadsQ29QQsofpZ0

I'll probably be making an order in the next couple of weeks, once I make up my mind which ones I want.

I'll let you know when I do so we can order together and save on the shipping.

Thanks! I can paypal you the funds too - I am sure you will be able to fit my order in one of those small padded envelopes!

How large of a pomander bead are you looking for (in mm)?
I'll keep my eyes out for them, because I'm looking for them too.

There is this prayer box, which might be a possibility

I am looking around 30mm. But the term prayer box is proving useful!

Thats a great link for the vermeil beads. Not that I actually need them at the moment - haven't used up all the ones I bought three or four years ago!!

Thanks for posting!
