I live in Dallas, and there are several places you can go to buy silver beads, chain, charms, etc etc. You could buy small silver charms and have them engraved with whatever you want.

If you want to get good quality, affordable sterling silver beads, I would recommend you to go to a bead show like the International Gem & Jewelry Show. You could look online for shows close to you or even search for other bead shows. You''re bound to find one in your area. I used to buy beads and findings at Jo-anns or Michaels but ever since I discovered bead shows, I never again shop at those two stores for beads. Also, the selection and quality of beads at a show are great and they have great prices as well!

Post Subject: Bracelets from the swap
Here are the two bracelets I sent to Pinguino for the bracelet swap. So Pinguino!! STOP READING if you want to be surprised, because I just mailed them last week, & since mail is so slow because of Xmas, you probably won't get them 'til next week at least. But I couldn't wait to show them off!

I had some once. I had super short hair and I had long platinum braids put in all over with pretty silver beads in them. They were very stunning, but I had to sleep with a nylon over them at night and I never really felt 100% clean because you can't wash your hair as good.
The woman who did mine was from Africa, and she pulled so hard on my hair I thought my head was going to explode - she was awesome though - they turned out perfect. I was amazed by how quick she could braid - her hands were just a blur. It still took several hours though.
