Not sure about the kind of jewelry findings you look for. I'm using silver and gold findings and highly recommend Pasternak Findings: http://www.pasternakfindings.com Good luck! Sarit. http://sarit-jewelry.com
I've been told you can find people selling things on craigslist. Fire Mountain Gems is a great source, though perhaps not wholesale. Oriental Traders--ditto, tho quality isn't quite up to Fire Mountain Skip the internet searches; pick up a beaders' magazine like BeadStyle or Bead & Button. A number of the ads inside say they are wholesale. Never checked them myself, as my work is much more small-scale.
Try searching for "wholesale" at http://craftbeads.craftingathome.com You will get several hits for wholesale craft beads.
