Try the Rock Barrell in Dallas behind TI at 13650 TI Boulevarde
http://www.rockbarrell.com/
They're usually very inexpensive, have a huge selection and a wide variety of
jewelry findings/furnishings.  Good place to buy bulk semi-precious strings.
You can email them with what you're looking for and they'll let you know if
they have it or something similar.

or if you know someone with a wholesale number:

Bally Bead Company  (972) 771-4515
2304 Ridge Rd
Rockwall, TX  75087
http://www.ballybead.com

They have awsome findings, import items and hard to finds.  Tucked back in an
odd corner of Rockwall but worth it if you can get in, since they deal only
wholesale.  They also do the Dallas Rock & Gem shows.
