[Jewelry making - Article 00910] - [Orchid] [Source] Round bead ear nuts

    On page 835 of the current Rio Gems & Findings catalog, at the top
    of the page... are some earrings that are using round sterling beads
    "lined with rubber and function as ear nuts." 

    I would like some of those, as ear nuts are usually unattractive.
    Rio only sells them as part of the earrings. I make my own earrings. 

    So does anyone know a source for just the rubber filled beads, or
    the kind of rubber to fill the beads (and is there an easy way to do
    this?) 

    Stick pins are great, but I never make them as I don't like
    commercial ends for them. So knowing what and how the rubber gets in
    the bead would be great. But I can just get the rubber filled beads
    too. 

    Ideas, sources, thoughts!? 

    As always thank you.
