If you are like me, you use SO many different things for your jewelry art that you never seem to be able to get more than 2 items per vendor. Or-you waste time, searching 14 different places trying to find the best price on Sterling or tools or whatever.
 I’ll let you in on one of my FAVORITE online jewelry suppliers-Metalliferous. They have GREAT prices on metals as well as supplies and tools. You can look thru the website or save the complete catalogs by downloading the pdf versions. Also, they have a retail store in New York City that bins and bins of stuff not in the catalog.  I wish I could go there once a week to go thru stuff and find little treasures. They are quick to ship and will call you if they have any questions about your order, to make sure they send you what you want.Â

While living in NYC going to grad school, Metalliferous was a frequent stop of mine, but I would spend so much when I was there I had to only visit a few times! Being in the store, which is about 800 sq. ft of packed in sterling components, brass stamped objects and jewelry tools made it my favorite spot. I am glad they have updated their website. If you ever get a chance to visit the city, it is a MUST on every jewelers stop! They have also opened a bead store next door owned by the same company…talk about 1 stop shopping!!!
