For some really extravagant seed beaded bracelets and innovative designs in copper and silver, please see my friend Cairenn's site, Ancient Arts http://www.howlingartist.com.  She also has many hair sticks and other hair accessories, plus such pet accessories as dog collars, pet placemats, and necklaces for pets.  Other images of her jewelry are shown on http://picasaweb.google.com/sharedhowls/jewelry. 

If you also do some jewelry work yourself, you might want to drop by Cairenn's jewelry arts forum on Delphi http://forums.delphiforums.com/jart.  People from all over the world discuss jewelry related topics.

If you are interested in vintage beads and buttons, visit www.beadsbysandy.com.  They have a huge warehouse full of all kinds of vintage beads, buttons, rhinestones, glass "stones", glass and plastic "pearls", lovely vintage clasps, mother-of-pearl buttons and pieces, and much more.  If you don't find what you are looking for, drop them a line - it might be somewhere in the warehouse.

An interesting site for metal stampings and history is http://www.guyotbrothers.com/guyotstudios/index.htm - check out the history section and other info.

If you want to know lots more about stones and minerals, check out www.webmineral.com.  They have more than you ever wanted to know about lots of stones.  And they have a lovely gallery of pictures of many different minerals in their natural forms.

I will be adding more links as I find them.
