Has anybody ever used Beadaholique.com for sterling silver wire?

They appear to have some pretty righteous prices for sterling silver, half hard wire ($6.95 to $14.95 per ounce for some gauges). I'm a little wary of ordering from someone I've never heard of, but I'm willing to trust an outfit that others here trust.

I have never bought wire from her but I have bought just about everything else lol! I have been a customer of hers for years- always good service, good products, never ever any problems. I am sure her wire will be exactly as she states and shows

Rio Grande and Brandywine is who I have bought wire from- the only catch with Rio Grande is the minimum order requirement when cash is tight.

I get mine from Rio Grande with copper from Brandywine. That minimum requirement is a bummer but I've had good experiences with both those companies. If you get good results when you buy from Beadaholique post about it on the vendors area of the forum.

I have bought beading wire from Beadaholique and some other stuff. All delivered quickly, and was exactly wat I expected it to be.

I get brass wire from beadstore.wigjig.com/Brass_Half_Round.html This is the only place I have found half round brass wire. cheap too.

Sterling silver from www.monsterslayer.com/Metals/PlainSSWires.aspx
this is good stuff, good prices, quick delivery, you can order any length you want, and they will give you credit for your scrap trimmings.

I have bought copper and silver from www.brandywinejewelrysupply.com with no complaints.

I have also bought silver and gold wire from www.firemountaingems.com with no complaints.

I noticed at Beadaholique.com the prices on the silver wire was for 5ft lengths NOT ounces.

monsterslayer sells by the foot and charges by how much that length of wire weighs. So I think it is the most fair pricing policy I have found.

Hi folks,
We sell most gauges of sterling silver wire by five-foot lengths AND ounces, at www.beadaholique.com. If metal prices keep rising, we will be considering half-ounces for the finer gauges, as well.

Half ounces would be wonderful.
