Sorry to keep flogging this horse, but could people who have had good
experiences with Rings’n’Things (they have a link to Ganoksin on
their site!) please add them to and review them for the Resource
guide? [Business Directory - Ganoksin Jewelry Making Community]

I am also curious about Art Gems Inc.

and any other “non-wholesale” supplier that would serve as a good
substitute for Fire Mountain. I remember all the bad news about Thai
Gems, so I don’t have to ask about them.

Also, either I can’t figure out how to search the Guide or there’s
something funky about the search engine. I would gladly add and
review Rishashay but I don’t know where to put them.

wirework and Sleeping Beauty turquoise–for a a bunch of DVDs that
are already helping me dig out from under my emotional baggage!
Pretty soon I may be making jewelry again!)

Lisa-

Rishashay is there. Just follow this link and submit your review.

As for Artbeads - I used them a while back. They aren’t too bad in
terms of quality but you have to remember that you get what you pay
for. Some of the cheaper gemstone beads are just that, but some are
really nice. Their shipping was pretty quick (I was in Singapore at
the time) and the website is pretty straight-forward. They just
reduced the prices on their gemstone beads and did away with the
volume discount program.
