Looking for jewellery making supplies

[Closet Kisses]

Hey,
Im starting my own jewellery collection but I'm finding it so difficult to source good supplies. I live in the Uk and would ideally like to use vintage materials but apart from Etsy (which can be quite expensive) I'm a bit stuck. I am happy to use online suppliers from europe or the US.

Anyone got any ideas or suppliers names??? Come on... please share your secrets....

Thanks
