Solid Perfume Containers *was* Eli Metal Group???

[Guest guest]

> Well , the times have not changed!!! I, too contacted them about 2 years

ago and after a very similar experience, went somewhere else. Except I still

hadn't found what I REALLY wanted. So I tried again 2 months ago and STILL have

not gotten my order. Everytime I call I get the same story... " working on it " .

Do you know where else I can go for metal cases??????? It would feel good to

cancel my standing order, I doubt I'll get it anyway. Write me privetly if you

wish...

Hi Dabney,

Sorry to hear they are the same way even with a firm order! Here is some

information I have gathered over the years, I have gotten so much from the

group, so don't mind sharing it )

www.firemountaingems.com as a collection of different boxes – shell boxes,

lacquer boxes, porcelain boxes, cloisonné boxes, and even a rose quartz box. I

have ordered beads from them before for my handmade tea cozies with good success

and good customer service - you can buy in small lots or large (price goes down

with quantity).

I use www.zeelver.com for my silver perfume boxes – good service, but can get

pricy with the shipping from Bali/Thailand - they also have perfume lockets.

I had the following links bookmarked, but do not know anything about the

companies (disclaimer!):

www.jansjewels.com small collection of brass compacts, pill boxes and lockets

http://creativefindings.com/lockets.htm - no experience with the company - look

under manufactured products for a list of all they do - they have metal pill

boxes & lockets, and the picture is apparently a small representative of what

they do. Based in RI.

e91b6c4f644b0bb6920c8793b42 - n pill boxes little pricier but pretty –

no experience with the company

http://www.wholesalesterling.com/index.html - has silver pill boxes and perfume

lockets in catalog #12 - no experience with the company, their pricing has a

surcharge based on the current price of silver that you must add onto the prices

I also use the 1/4 oz flat slipcover tins (round ones you use for lip balm) with

a pretty sticker on the top and present them in a small gift box – I got mine at

www.sks-bottle.com for my moderate priced line. You can get them elsewhere

also.

There are also some cute little glass jars that can look very pretty with the

right label/packaging - www.sunburstbottle.com has some under lip balm glass

jars, www.essentialsupplies.com has some under the specialty glass/cosmetic

section in gold or silver finish. www.newdirectionsaromatics.com has glass pots

in cobalt, gold, and silver.

I have not listed plastic, as it isn't the best for retaining scent.

If anyone else knows some good sources for solid perfume containers (even wood

ones would be of interest to me!) I will gladly add the links to the links

section along with the ones I have listed.

Hope this helps!
