One of the top 5 Bead Bazaars in the country.
www.jessimports.com is where I buy all my clasps. They have a large selection and I buy in person when they come to Denver--they are present at most large shows across the country.
The reason I prefer their clasps is that there is a safely catch in the mechanism that is unique and IMPORTANT. Then there is Beth Ann who sells Jess Imports clasps at shows in this area. She is the most gorgeous woman with her colorful tattoos and beautiful smile — all of this a winning combination for my $$.
