Q: I see that Singaraja Imports(selling silver Balinese beads) will be at the Whole Bead Show and others.. Does anyone know their prices per gram of silver? I'd like to know.. so I can bring enough bucks!

A: I just purchased from him at a bead show in Florida. The prices start at $1.35 a gram (I think) - and decrease depending on the number of grams you purchase. At 30 grams it's $1.00 a gram. I buy them at shows usually for about 62 cents a gram. They mail order between 70 cents and 1.00. Before you plunk down your money, look around at the show because I have found other's selling at 50 cents a gram. They also take credit cards so you don't have to use your cold cash with them. By the kilo, they may be 500 - 600 dollars...that's 50 cents to 60 cents a gram. I can't remember their exact price, but at show they may be even less...
