[Source] Stone/semi-precious spheres

Jewelry Discussion
1

Hello all!

I am looking for small (5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm and 20 mm)

stone/semi- precious/“interesting” glass beads WITHOUT holes (I
guess you’d call them marbles?!). Can’t seem to find a source
anywhere and I’d appreciate any and all help.

Thanks,

Debra Lally

It should read 875 mm (it weighs only 1000 kg), sorry, Markus
