Thread: I'm repairing a fringe on a Turkish Bedlah, can't find the right beads.

I'm repairing a fringe for a local dancer, But the Turkish costumes often have little faceted beads at the ends of the fringe.
Sometimes they have 3 or four together. I can't find them anywhere1 I only find the round smooth ones. Here is what they are like. Does anybody know where I can get them?

They look like these:

Czech Glass Beads Fire Polished Faceted Rounds 3mm Siam Ruby Vega MK Beads

I've never used that vendor but they look really similar.

Not the glass ones. The ones I need are probably plastic with metal coating,same as the round ones. Thank you anyway!

Not sure if the link will take you to the right page, if not, on that site the ones that look like yours are called Plastic Metallic Bead Faceted Bright Gold 3mm

I don't have advice on these specific beads, but one tip I've found useful in these situations--check the UK eBay. I've found odd sizes of beads and sequins to match those on some Egyptian costumes that way.
