Question:
I'm trying to find 13x6.5mm side-drilled crystal teardrops in several
colors, but all I've been able to find is jet and crystal. I used to be
able to get these at a bead shop near me, which unfortunately went out of
business. Are these still being made in different colors, or have they been
discontinued (I tried looking at the Swarovski web site, but I couldn't find
a bead chart)? I'd like to find a mail order source, or if a retail shop
near Chicago could get them for me, I'd be willing to make the drive.
Thanks very much for your help.
