17 Nov, 2008 jewelry making supplies

Trying to start up my own costume jewelry collection and wondering if anyone out there does this or knows anyone doing it and where they get their supplies if they do not actually make everything themselves.

When I'm looking for beads and findings for my jewelry making business, I generally go to www.firemountaingems.com. I started out making costume jewelry like yourself and it is a one stop shop for anything from making costume jewelry to setting faceted stones. They have beautiful plastic, glass, and semi-precious stone beads, and also every type of finding you could imagine. Good luck and have fun! I hope you love it as much as I do.
