Gemstone bead suppliers

I need to get some good quality 10mm or so aquamarine beads for a project for my mum's birthday. Any recommendations where to buy them? There are loads of places out there but I'd prefer to use someone trusted.

I have used Bead Addict without any problems they have aquamarine here, just checked on some of my other websites & can't find any that I have used that have the size you are after.

Thanks Whizz - they have some lovely ones there. I've never shopped with bead addict before... I can see it's name is appropriate!

whizzz- you haven't seen any square silver spacers like the one in this bracelet? I got the beads from a bead shop but its far enough away that i'm not going there any time soon and I just cant seem to find any squareish silver beads anywhere.

much appreciated.
