ISO 2-strand curved silver tubes

I am looking for a retail source for the 2-strand curved silver tubes used in "Silver Lining" in Bead Style Jan. '04 (you can see a very small picture here:

. They are two curved tubes facing away from each other like this )( but they are offset. I called the source listed in the article, Rio Grande, but they only sell "to the industry." They wouldn't even tell me who they sell them to so I could buy some. Very frustrating. Any idea where I could find these or a good substitute? Naturally, I need them quickly because I'm supposed to make a version of this necklace for the bridesmaids in a friend's wedding in 3 weeks.

Feh. They sell to anyone - they sold to me when I was just starting out, and I'm not in any industry at all. Just call them and tell the order taker what you want. Don't sound like you're afraid or don't know what you're doing. Exude confidence, it will work. :-)

I don't have my catalog handy or I'd give you the part number - can anyone else around here help?

They really cannot give out the names of their customers, or they wouldn't have any. The day Rio Grande or any other supplier gave out my name and number to some random person on the phone would be the day I filed a lawsuit.

The part number is 693-843. They are $6.75 for a package of 20. Go for it Kimbo!
