Following on Maestra Giuliana's mention of Fire Mountain Gems, here
are some part numbers for their silver presoldered rings:

8mm (#H143176FD)
7mm (#H143175FD)
6mm (#H143174FD)
5mm (#H143173FD) 

They carry both gold and silver presoldered rings. Ordering and
shipping were pretty painless and timely, and their multiple quantity
price breaks are pretty good.

FWIW, I used approximately 70 5mm silver rings on my gamurra; only
have had one solder break so far.

YIS,
