Gold Filled Toggles (and note to Mary S)
I have finally found a few gold filled toggles, in a very wide range of
prices, one or two from each of several sites. But NOT Rio. What Rio has is vermeil, which is gold PLATE, not gold-filled. I'm with Marilee on this, I won't use, and can't recommend gold plate, even if the material that's plated is silver. Tina |

Nope. Gold-filled is preferable to vermeil by far.
I'm with Marilee on this, I won't use, and can't recommend gold plate, even if the material that's plated is silver. ~~ Sooz ------- ESBC ~ Dr. Sooz's Bead Links http://airandearth.netfirms.com/soozlinkslist.html ~ Bead Notes: Beading information A - Z http://www.lampwork.net/beadnotes.html |

Yes, every once in a while I'll run across a single style some place. I'm
really astounded that our basic catalogues don't have them. Tina "Steve & Susan Wright" wrote in message rthlink.net... I had some quite awhile back and don't think I paid anywhere near those prices. Wish I remembered where I got them. Susan "CLP" wrote in message news:%1IRa.457$If5.314@lakeread06...

Santa Fe Jewelers Supply has at least some gold-filled toggles. I
haven't ordered from them so can't recommend personally, though for whatever reason I do have a good impression of their shop! If you want to take a look here's their URL: http://www.sfjssantafe.com/ I think I saw the toggles in the print catalog but doublechecked the website and if you search for 'findings' and 'goldfilled' you'll find some.
