Hmmm... I can see why you want more, those are very striking. I know this will sound weird but try WalMart...they sell many of the same items as Michaels but cheaper!!! also if there is a JoAnns Fabric store near you, check them out. Our local one has Michaels beat all to h3ll!! LOL Other than that, just try the sponsored bead dealers here at the website. Good luck!

 

thank you, I found them( the ones posted in pic) at Michaels...but have seen them in other colors, walmart doesn't have them...So I was hoping to find some online..but no luck yet.  They are so very pretty and the MOP gives a nice little shine here and there,,,

I've seen a lot of these in 16" strands at shows - do you have any Intergem shows in your area?

Also try searching under inlay or mosaic shell beads

Thank you Rustie, no we don't have have any Intergem shows in our area, but we do have Rock and Gemstone  in our area, I will check it out !!  Thank you again....:)

These are really unique looking beads. Why don't you google 'beads' and check the websites out. Many websites have a promo section, where they promote and sell such beads. I can't assure you will get the same type, but I have seen similar looking gems online on sites like Firemountaingems and Gemmall.com. Look under the Shell and Promos sections.

Hope you find some soon.

 

Thank you, Amazon01. I  found some at a bead shop here fairly close by.  I  have checked the sites you mentioned from time to time.  Thank you for your suggestions and time..

HAPPY BEADING :)

You can also try e-bay, you never know and may get lucky.

 

thank you for your suggestion, Seagems

I'm going to a small show this weekend - I can look for you if you'd like.  Just let me know what size, color, how many & what's the most you want to pay for them.

Thank you so very much for the offer, but funds are low at the moment..But maybe you can find a name for them and where on line I can find them...Thank you again so much,  Your a sweetie. :)

Will do...

What colors & sizes are you looking for?

 

Rustie, thank you.....I'm interested in a round 12 mm in a red or purple. 

No luck - the only mosaic/inlay beads anyone had were about 20mm and abalone-colored.  It was a very small show though, so there wasn't a lot of variety.  I'll keep an eye out and let you know if I come across a vendor.

 

Thank you Rustie, do you recall what the 20mm sold for ?  Curious about the price that the beads that size sell for.   thank you very much, Dora  :)

I found some finally, in a few colors online at gemmail.com.

Thank you everyone and Rustie for all your suggestions and searches. 

Sorry - I haven't been online for a few days...

I think the 20mm rounds were around $8/strand.

Glad you found what you wanted! 

Hope you haven't been sick...and many thanks again....
