    Default I need some 12mm silver beads

    Does anyone know where I can get 12mm plain spherical sterling silver beads from in the UK? Preferably double holed for stringing but not essential as I can drill them. I need about 40 for a commission.
    I found a supplier an Ebay, they sent me the 40 but they were 10mm and cannot now get any more 12mm.
    Help!!

    Him Barry,

    Eurofindings have them here: http://www.eurofindings.com/Results?q=silver+balls.

    To buy from them you have to open an account and prove you are a wholesale customer. Your account number from Cookson will do the trick. Dennis.

    However, thesilvercorporation.co.uk is cheaper still. Their site seems to be under maintenance this weekend but if you enter 12mm round in the search box you'll find what you need. They post far quicker than Palmers as well.

    My word, you certainly have to keep your wits about you when buying these.

    Mind you, at 12mm in diameter, beads will dent more easily if the metal is thin. So do you phone them and ask the weight? Dennis.

    Thanks for all the replies, but I was mistaken that Cookies don't have them - they do and I have ordered today. Their search engine is not the best in the world.

    I've found them now too, whereas I hadn't before. It's called tail chasing
