    thunderbird jewelers supply, eloxite corp. ( really base !- like
    zinc tin and probably lead plated withthe thinnest coating
    imaginable!!), land of odds, and oriental trading co. all have base
    metal prong findings...also rio has a strip of 3mm settings ( i
    believe there are 21 or 22 to the strip) they may diversify your
    idea.&and the more weight you buy in.925 the cheaper it gets- from
    most suppliers..if you want to buy bulk and even cheaper but don't
    mind waiting two weeks to get the package, on Indiamart.com you can
    post a buy order, and you'll get a myriad of suppliers in all types
    of metals, really inexpensively..I find bulk buying from overseas
    usually saves a lot in comparisson to any of the above..but if you
    need it quick, then try within the US, or Canada,. here are a few to
    check out: hope one turns up what you need...R
