    Default silver bookmark findings

    Hello all,

    Just wondered if anyone can suggest somewhere to get sterling silver bookmarks to add a charm/bead. I am looking to use them for pmc silver fingerprint/handprint/footprint paw print charms. The only place I can seem to find them is ebay and I dont really want to buy from there.

    Any suggestions gratefully received.

    Thanks

    Nope - jumped in while the going was good. You was otherwise engaged with looking for invisible stones to set

    If you don't want cheapy plated ones, these are incredibly easy to make from sterling wire. 2mm works best - hammer one end and punch or drill a hole, then smooth the edges. Bend this over a large mandrel (hammer handle works well). Hand shape a wiggle (if you want one) or gentle curve, then hammer flat. Textured or flat look equally good.
