Answer
Hi Debra,

Lots of wholesale jewelry suppliers in China.  I have two recommendations for you:

1- www. alibaba.com
2- web search "925 snap-tite silver setting China"

Alibaba.com is the premiere online shopping center for Chinese suppliers.  Do some seaches on the web site for what you are looking for and you'll find some suppliers.  Try using other names for the products you are using as what we call "snap-tite" in the USA may be known by another name in Europe or Asia.

Try the same searches on your favorite web search engine and you will come up with some suppliers as well.

Some words of advice, if you are going to buy from the suppliers catalog, make sure you have samples sent so that you can verify that the settings meet your requirements.  The same holds extra true for custom designs.

If you need some assistance on the ground in China, let me know.

Best regards,
Mike...
