I've been looking on the net for good wholesale bead suppliers, but so far I have mostly found places that say they are whole sale, but the prices don't agree with that lable.
Today I went to this cute little area of the town my mom lives in to check out a bead store I found in the phone book. This place was amazing. It had genuine gemstone beads, crystals, and the prices were decent.
Then,while I was looking I found this little sign tucked into a corner that said they give discounts to retailers and jewelry designers!! I figured it would be a little one, but it isn't it is 50%. I had to buy at least $200 worth the first day, but from now on there isn't a limit. I got a tremendous deal on the crystal beads I need for my bracelets. I'm in heaven!! I got them for 12 cents a piece and the cheapest I've found them is close to 40 cents a piece! They also had the other gemstone beads I was looking for and some beautiful freshwater pearls. I can't wait to make the pearl necklace I'm envisioning.
I'm so excited about my treasures! Thank you Universe!!!!

Congrats and If you can get to a real gem show sometimes you can get really decent prices. Are there any gem shows where you live?

Here is a pic of the necklace and bracelet I made Saturday. It has genuine garnet chips and freshwater pearls in it. My mom and I stayed up until 3:30 am making jewelry. I really only got this done as I was teaching her and all those little chips had to be strung by hand and I had to keep measuring to make sure the spacing was correct. Notice the charms. Follow your dreams... Imagine, Wish, Believe, and Trust!

Beautiful Kim!!
Do you take requests? Let's say someone wants to keep up a positive vibration or develop their intuitive skills, could you make a piece of jewelry that can help that person? Just curious....
