Hi everybody,
I need your help. My daughter is getting married (YIPPEE!!!). We are
having so much fun planning everything. We decided to pick out the favors
for the reception and came across the cutest idea. It is a clear little
glass flower pot in which you place a votive candle. The flower pot is
adorned with 8mm half domed pearls (ivory colored) and a ribbon around the
top of the pot. Then they are wrapped up in tulle and tied with a bow. The
problem is that I can't find the half-domed pearls that we need. All I can
find are combination packages in which you may find 5-6 of the required size
at a cost of between $2.99-$3.49 per package. I need 900 of the little
stinkers. I think that I have seen these types of pearls in the past but,
of course, now that I'm trying to find them they all seem to have
disappeared. Has anyone out there seen packages of the 8mm ivory half-domes
pearls? I have searched the internet under google, I've checked out
Michaels, Jo Annes, Total Crafts and Wal-Mart's and can't believe that I
haven't found anything. I even thought that if push came to shove, we could
get the little buttons that come on cards and chop of the attachment parts
but the cards that I found had only 5 on each card. A little pricey when
you need 900. Luckily, we started in plenty of time to get things done but
we may have to change to rhinestones. If anyone has seen these types of
pearls, please let me know where to find them.
Thanks in advance.

You might want to try jewelry making supply companies such and Rings &
Things and Fire Mountain Gems.
Here are their web sites:
www.firemountaingems.com
www.rings-things.com
I have ordered from both of these and have been very happy with the items
and the speed of delivery.

If neither of these have what you want you can Google search for jewelry
supplies.
Best of Luck,

You might also try to contact the manufacturer directly. Even if they don't
normally sell just those in packages, they might work with you since it's in
bulk and for a wedding.
