I have no idea when I'll be back in Bali unfortunately but it's unlikely to be in the next 12 months.
What kind of beads did they have there? There is a s/silver beads place also near Bintang Supermarket, but a bit further south. Bujangga Silvers Jl Raya Tuban Phone 0361 754281. I'm assuming they still exist and that the number is still current. I didn't need any beads on my last trip so the last time I purchased from there was in 2004. The variety isn't great and they didn't have much in the way of findings.
To be honest the best value I've got on bali silver beads, as far as variety, quality and price, was by mail order from Java.
Other loose or temporarily strung beads (gemstone, glass etc) in Bali I found to be pretty disappointing and could do better at home.
