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.

I've never used any of these suppliers. Just a preliminary look.

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.

I had some quite awhile back and don't think I paid anywhere near those
prices. Wish I remembered where I got them.

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.
