Default source for giant beads

a friend showed this necklace at our quilting bee today. she got it from a fellow artisan who is having difficulty finding a source for these beads. she got her last ones from outside of the USA. the bead is like a square tube that was cut at a slight angle, making it look a little wonky. if anyone knows where these can be purchased, my friend's friend will be very grateful. thanks.

firemountaingems.com would be a good place to begin looking.

I am looking for the conical shaped things that go on the ends of the fabric and have the lobster claw clasps attached!! I did see the big beads and metal pieces at Joannes yesterday. Not exactly like the one pictured.
