I'm trying to find some large cone beads - or even rounded ends.

They need to be no smaller than 12mm diametre (not length) and no bigger than 15mm diametre- to cover several strands at the end of a necklace.

I'd prefer sterling silver but would consider plated.

The only ones I can seem to find are about 8mm diametre so any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't mind buying internationally.

They're exactly what I'm looking for but I don't like Finding King (either US or UK - although there's no difference, its the same seller and both are located in US). Had a bad experience with them when I first started making jewellery and wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Feedback isn't that good either.

Thanks anyway - will just have to keep looking.

Have a look at finedings.com they are in the states, but are very good, excellent service & reasonably priced.

Thank you everyone for your help. I have several options from the suggestions made so all I need to do now is see which my customer prefers.
