Source for cz beads?

[Lisa_Orlando]

I see in the archives that someone named Rita Wheat posted a request
for these, but I can’t find a reply. Is cz made into beads? If I want
maximum flash, should I just stick with Swarivski, or is there
something I’ve missed that looks more like frozen spit?

Thanks!

Lisa,

You should stick with swarovski crystals for that as my daughter
says “bling bling”. Thaigem.com sometimes carries the cz beads but
they are outrageously expensive. Use the ABx2 ones for max flash or
search jewelex.com for the vintage ones which seem to have more
refraction and unusual cuts both handmade and machine cut.
