I too brought from a guy poppies 2 lane and also outside matahari dept store- I think I ended up getting about 5 beads from each of them , for 200,000r ( worked out $5 each roughly) So far they are looking good . I had brought the bracelet itself back here in Oz ( so I could be assured of quality)
I did go to perlu jeweller in seminyak and he had some ceramic beads but they were 80,000R each and not a large range ( I ended up with 3 for 160,000 - buy 2 get 1 free; these were a present for a friend)I stoppe din at marios silver in seminyak and they had a great range silver but not beads.
When you go looking theres a lot of garbage out there ( bright silver- weigh very little - odd sizes)
The two chaps I brought from, it was noticable that the beads were all roughly same size and there wasnt the disparate colour ranges seen in the other vendors beads.
