What company do you buy your silver from? if it is not a secret… I was buying Bali and Hill Tribe silver from the Jewelweaver but lately their choice is very limitted.

Reet says:The bead’s size is 16mm , pretty big.
I buy Hill Tribe silver beads from Artbeads.com. It’s not a secret at all.
Thank you for all good comments.
