Beaders!-silver=plated findings?

Finances being what they are, I really can not afford too much sterling or vermeil. So who offers the best plated findings and wire? I bead to de-stress so I don't want my costs going through the roof.

I did some research on beading forums but saying "plated" is like saying "hey I make junk" to some of those beaders.

I read tierra cast was good?
TIA!

I know I talk about them a lot, but really can't say enough about Fire Mountain Gems. Great prices and even better customer service. That link will bring you to the clasp section as an example.

I used to manage a bead store when I was in college, and we used to buy wholesale from them. They were and still are fantastic!

Thank you!! I'm never sure which online bead stores to trust.

Re: Beaders!-silver=plated findings?

i have used firemountain but I also love artbeads.com. They also have great prices and let you order any where from 1 bead to hundreds, plus free shipping always!!
