Anyone know of a reputable semi-precious gemstone bead supplier in Jaipur, India?

I'm looking for silver beads and semi-precious gemstone beads, such as tanzanite, tourmaline, citrine, and amethyst, in shapes such as faceted rounds, briolettes, and cubes. Can any of you recommend a *specific* supplier in Jaipur, India?...someone whom you trust and who has a good selection and is available by email. I will not be able to go there myself and shop around, so I need to be able to select items from a website or email them a list of things I want. My relative will go by Jaipur and pick up my order in a few weeks. BTW, I'm making jewelry which I will sell, and I'll donate all profits to a charity in South India. I hope my idea works! Thanks for reading!

1. I have been going to India for 7 years (3 months a year). I buy sterling silver jewelry (most with semi-precious stones) and handicrafts. To tell you the truth I would not buy jewelry or stones via e-mail. My girlfriend and I hand pick every piece we buy (we spend 3 months in India each year). At first it was quite a chore; but now we know who has the good stuff and who to stay away from. We generally buy from the smaller jewelers and many to get the quality and designs we want. None of them as far as I know do much business via the Internet. Do a goggle search under "Jaipur jewelry" and you will see some rather large companies that export. You should go to India , you will never be the same. Be careful and try to buy from Hindus only (Muslims I am sorry to say are less reliable (that's all I will say). And if anyone recommends somebody, Ask them."Have you actually bought from these people?" Talk is very cheap in the importing business! Good luck! Sudhid (that last name does not sound Hindi..could be though) care-full! I have some contacts in Delhi who are very trustworthy but the sell Antiques, raw lapis, replica tribal jewelry....Delhi especially Parahagange (a large market wher many westerners stay..we stay there always) is full of wholesale jewelerys and often their price is better than Jaipur. Let me look i can get you some e-mail addresses. Master Quark
