Corrugated tyre beads

[Sheen]

Does anyone know where i could buy these at a better price? The only place i've found them is on beads.co.uk. they don't have to be exactly the same, but they do need to be tyre shaped, abt 5mm in diameter and corrugated.

Tbh Sheena I’ve never seen beads like these but haven’t looked for them either. I would imagine that’s about the right price though.
I’ve found all these which you could easil flatten with a pair of pliers, I’ve successfully done that with plain ones

Have a look in Etsy Sheena: https://www.etsy.com/uk/market/sterling_silver_spacer_beads?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Search_UK_DSA_Google_Main_General&utm_ag=UK-EN_DSA-General&utm_custom1=8323e786-8474-4798-95dc-70d77589c9cf&utm_content=go_149164831_9465558751_337836204887_a ud-150897436608:dsa-19959388920_c_&gclid=CjwKCAjwg-DpBRBbEiwAEV1_-Oo0mEFMd1l1GUauK1UPjwNTyLF7OH9Lb9CjEv7bstohFUUqPij TFhoCDOsQAvD_BwE.

Thanks Dennis and Caroline, will investigate both of the links. I was surprised there wasn't more of these about when i tried searching.

Well Sheena, It's a pain, but you can get different results by varying the key words. I googled 'sterling silver spacer beads'. Dennis.

Hi Sheena, give Silver Moon Beads a go https://www.silvermoonbeads.com/acatalog/Hill_Tribe_Silver.html or Palmer Metals. Failing that, Burhouse Beads might have some. I did buy some years ago, but it looks like Silver Moon don't have them. However, you could get in touch and they might be able to source some.

I think I looked up sterling donut beads or sterling tyre shaped beads. Good with your search. Jules
