Could someone help me in English? where to buy supplies

I really do hope i'm posting on the right forum. i have just relocated to Germany recently, and my German is not good at all yet (but i'm working on it! ). please excuse me...!

Where do you buy silver??? I have been looking desperately for silver suppliers for jewellery making for months and months, either in Berlin or online from a German supplier. and i have not been able to find anything AT ALL with my limited German knowledge.

I used to live in the United States and bought all my supplies from Rio Grande (http://www.riogrande.com) the biggest supplier there. apparently i cannot afford the shipping cost from the US. so, is there a supplier like this here in Germany? the most important is silver/sterling silver wires and findings. so far all i have managed to find online is only some shops that sell small pieces without many options at all (they don't specialise in selling silver).

i hope i'm not going against forum policies by asking this, if i am, i'm sorry! but if anyone can point me to the right direction, i really appreciate. thank you so much!!

they haven´t finished their hompage yet

but they are really friendly at the telephone and you could write E-Mails. I don´t know if they use English as businesslanguage. May be there is a friend who can order for you in german, if they don´t understand English?

Dear lafillette,

"Scheideanstalt" stands for a company, doing the metal separation process and semi-finished materials (sheets and wires and so on..) for you.

Burger (http://www.burger-edelmetalle.de/) is a Scheideanstalt I can recommend but there are others like:
C. Hafner (http://www.c-hafner.de/) or Allgemeine (http://www.allgemeine-gold.de/), all located in and around Pforzheim.

oh great! thank you all for all these suggestions! it's good that some of these sites have English translation options too, but also it's a good opportunity for me to struggle with my dictionary and learn some new words. thanks again!! i'm already having fun browsing what they got.

happy creating!
