I asked on the Holiday board but no one seemed to know where to find what I needed. I have gotten into making coralled earrings and there is only one place in my general area that carries beads and all the findings and it's not close, believe me and very expensive. I don't want to have to travel all that way out there again. I would much rather order online. My problem? I can't find a site that sells what I want unless they have a minimum purchase price that is too high for the little that I need set up or unreasonable shipping rates or one site wouldn't even tell me the shipping rates unless I ordered. What I am looking for are double loop bead tips and I need them in gold and silver (I've seen them called double clam shell bead tips too). Does anyone know a reliable site? I went to firemountain, couldn't find them. Went to oriental trading, nope. Three other places that were recommended but a no go for me were beadland.com, shipwreckbeads.com and artbeads.com. Anyone know any other sites please??? Thanks for any help.

Have you tried eBay? There are many bead sellers there. Maybe they have what you are looking for.

I located those for you on several sites and posted them on the Holiday Board.
If you decide to go to eBay or anywhere else just called them 'bead tips' that will help narrow your search.

Have you tried here:

Here's Fire Mountain's in gold, but I forgot to look for a minimum - shipping is a flat $5

http://www.firemountaingems.com/search.asp?skw=bead+tips+gold

I have always been happy with ordering from them.

If I knew just which one you were looking for I could look here at JoAnn's & Michael's ...

So very sorry but I just found out why I can't find what I want at the sites given. When I bought these at the one place around here they called them double clam shell bead tips. When I looked online, those are not the same as what I need. The ones I need online are called double loop clam shell bead tips. So sorry all. I will check out that site Leslie. And thanks all for the help given!

That site does have them Leslie but they are even more expensive than the place I went to here. Thanks anyhow!
