Favorite Component Suppliers
- Fire Mountain Gems
- They are my favorite supplier. They have an impressive assortment of products. They're efficient. I just love them!
- Rio Grande
- A good source for those working expansively in matel and the production of high-end jewelry. Their components and tools are reasonably priced, and they ahve a great selection!
- Shipwreck Beads
- A new find many beaders pointed me to. Their showroom is huge, but I found them a bit expensive. In a pinch, though they are great, probably more for beaders than for those of us who work in wire.
