naka punta na ako sa wellsons pero hindi ko makita yung DIY parang pag nandun kana nakakalito na yung mga stores. . .

^DIY is just in front of butingting, and right beside Sophie's... next time you go there, dont be confused with the sidewalk vendors... once i went there, ang daming namimili, i opted not to go to the door behind the vendors... ang mura pa naman ng murano sa DIY... fyi, may family na nakatira dun sa tabi ng pinto ng DIY... so if you see mga 3 bata na may tv dun sa gilid, that's DIY...

Hi,

I'm planning to start a charms (like charms & crystals) business, I would appreciate if anyone could share where to buy semi-precious stones, dzi beads, jade buddha. i heard there is a store in antipolo but i'm not sure exactly where it is, medyo malayo na rin sa amin kasi I live in the north. Thanks!

[trinity94]

^for those charms, you can try the chinese stores in quiapo... you can find a lot of them at 888 builiding...

[tash]

hi.. pansin nyo ba yung mga tinda sa quiapo parang kunwari may binili ka ngayon pos next week wala na yung ganun item iba nanaman.. ganun kase observation ko dapat pagpunta dun may dala dami pambili... :-P

[geumjandi]

ganun bilis naman nila magbago at bilis maubos?

[Chellypie]

How much po kaya yung difference ng price/rate sa tabora-divi vs sa quiapo for german crystals? Saan pong store nagbibigay ng mas malaking discount if wholesale [textspeak!] bili nung german crystals? Pls. help.. Thank you po in advance...

[kittie_rock]

hi! ask ko lang po, san nakakabili ng murang hematite stones/beads?
sa mga stores ba sa quiapo nakakadiscount ng up to 50% kung atleast 5 strings of beads bilhin?
  i really need to buy the materials as cheap as possible hehe

[trinity94]

^meron namang wholesale price if you get 5 pcs or more... aside from that, you can be friendly with the owner and ask for more discount...

medyo bored na ko sa quiapo lately... i used to go there every two weeks, pero ngayon, once a month na lang... para kasing di masyadong updated ang materials nila... i have a lot of beads already, naubusan na ko ng components, esp locks and charms...

[kittie_rock]

wholesale wholesale gotta keep that in mind lol
thanks po!

another question. meron pa kaya nito sa Pilipinas?

hello beautiful ladies.  this is my first time to post anything as I have just joined the network.  anyway like all of you, i have gone into beading as a hobby. pampaalis ng stress.  I'm Baguio based and will be going to Manila this May and I am thinking of going to Wellmansons.  For those who have been there, can you please give me an idea of the price ranges for semi-recious stones (if there are?) as in how much does a strand cost?  I usually use amethyst, turqoise, agates etc..

[wild flower]

internet po check nio po:)

sis baka may alam kang link. ilang days na ko naggo-google about it, wala ko makita

[trinity94]

^^the price range depends on the sizes of the stones... prices start at P100 and up... dun sa 888 bldg, mas maraming choices ng semi-precious stones...

were you referring to the yellow one?... im not sure if meron sa wellmansons, but i see that in lace shops, esp in carolina's... pero try mo sa tabi ng wellmansons kasi maraming lace shops din dun...

[kittie_rock]

@trinity94

thanks! not particularly the yellow one, i was referring to the material itself. sa japanese mag ko yun nakita e. parang tela na net. nilalagay sa loob yung beads. i don't even know what its called haha

yung po bang 2nd floor ng 888 bldg may mga shops din?

[Super Nix]
