silver cores for 5mm mandrel beads

[Flyingcheesetoastie]

My rivets arrived yesterday and I'm very pleased with them, they are quite substantial without being too bulky an addition to a bead and have been finished off very well.

As I work in a bead shop, I have compared them to the ones in the cheap end silver core beads we sell, inported from China, and can confirm that these are much better quality.

My boss has also says she has a 925 stamp, but I think I'd end up bashing the crap out of unstamped thinner rivets so am quite happy to pay 40p odd for these ones.

Palmers offer a choice,you can buy them plain or stamped 925 and I think if memory serves they are the same price.

I find the palmers ones a bit too lightweight, its a shame cos I would buy theirs if they were as good.
I'd send an email asking which size you need from allbeads, she's very helpful.

Tuffnells ones are stamped and fit the big hole mandrel which they also sell.
