Hi. Do any of you know where I might be able to get hold of 9ct or 18ct grommets / bead caps for making beads? If not, has anyone got any ideas for an alternative? I Can't seem to find any anywhere :(

Thank you :) Lucie. x

Make your own? Sheet metal, a disc cutter and a doming block / punches will do the trick.

Thank you George, I was hoping to avoid it, but I think it might be the only option at the moment!

I've never seen them commercially Lucie - I suspect the demand would be too small for large suppliers to be interested, and people like me that produce handmade findings simply can't afford to keep enough sheet gold in stock.
