Does anyone know where else besides Eternal Quartz to get these banger beads? Seems like my Liger needs some. EQ has been sold out for a bit. Any other options kind gentlemen?
Evan shore, cryptic culture and someone else i cannot remember now after a dab with 10 sapphire beads in sapphire insert.
Shores are expensive tho at 30 each. Cryptic is every where now i think.
You want either ruby or sapphire. Avoid the quartz or boro or ceramic ones.
Thanks, appreciated. I am afraid that boro will crack too easily.just bought these last night so I can test em out https://zcglassart.com/collections/frontpage/products/glass-orbs-pack-of-4
difference between this one and eternal quartz is zc beads are made of boro glass instead of quartz. Let me know if anyone tried these before.
I also have wondered this, when I search for ruby dab beads a ton of these listings come up. I may give them a shot as the price difference is huge. How different can they be? I'd imagine they wouldnt have any coatings and would be the same materials only the jewelry ones mostly seem to have a hole in them to string themThe materials is what matters. Ruby and sapphire are almost the same but ruby just has an element that turns it red. I wouldnt be surprised if these spheres, pearls and beads are just jewelry beads made for necklace which you can get online for like $6 each.
Anyone come across any 4 or 5mm ruby/sapphire spheres? Can only seem to find 6mm. Cryptic Culture's description says they offer 5mm, but they're not on the site.
Want to get some that will fit into a 28mm DNail Halo SiC dish. Thanks to @alittledabwilldoya' I know the 6mm are just too large.
I know they are out there somewhere. I saw them somewhere like a week ago or two ago. But i wasnt looking to buy any spheres since i have 25 ruby and sapphire.Anyone come across any 4 or 5mm ruby/sapphire spheres? Can only seem to find 6mm.

Swiss jewel company has them in pretty much any size you want. Only thing is you need a $50 minimum order. Email for pricing. Super nice company and shipped them within a week.
Also, 5mm fits my 28mm dnail sic halo perfectly. Also fits my 25mm opaque core banger like a dream. That’s my favorite banger to use ruby beads in atm. 4mm seemed a little too small for any of my inserts/halos
Amazing info, much appreciated! Was wondering if 4 or 5mm would be the right size.
If you don't mind me asking, how much were the spheres you ordered from them? Looks like I'll be placing an order soon.
All this talk of beads has me had me dying to try them, it looks like they really do offer a significant benefit.
@Shooby that sounds amazing!
I can’t remember the individual prices, but they were really cheap compared to the CC and EQ prices. Six 5mm spheres + four 4mm spheres was just above the 50 minimum, I do remember that. They’ll send a pricing sheet if you email them. I called my order in and the guy was super nice.
Here is a German manufacturer of high end medical/industries parts who is working with SiC, ruby, sapphire and more. They are also working on demand if anyone is looking for new sapphire dishes They are working on sapphire glasses from <1mm to >40mm. Maybe interesting for a bulk order?
I think the puffco peak sapphire inserts may fit the 20mm Liger. Its a bit taller too.I'd be in for a new 20mm sapphire, keep the 20mm Liger V3 alive! Lol
