Not sure about the kind of jewelry findings you look for. I’m using silver and gold findings and highly recommend Pasternak Findings:
Good luck!

I’ve been told you can find people selling things on craigslist.
Fire Mountain Gems is a great source, though perhaps not wholesale.
Oriental Traders–ditto, tho quality isn’t quite up to Fire Mountain
Skip the internet searches; pick up a beaders’ magazine like BeadStyle or Bead Button. A number of the ads inside say they are wholesale. Never checked them myself, as my work is much more small-scale.
