Best place for newbie to buy cabochons please?

you are right, will take some in morning. Have been kept busy today with our dog doing his best to die under anaesthetic at the vets, hooray for clever vets!

Er - priorities, definitely. Ruddy animals! Always doing something to keep you on your toes...

I'd never get a job on QVC - righto, here's all of the things - and one of the emeralds (top lit) 7.5mm long and an opal (6mm). As I said, it was a cheapy test order, the opal was under £5, the emerald ten.

Wow, I'm really impressed with their presentation =D (great photos too btw).

I used these (seems gemstone collector/genuine gemstone company and gemsTV are all connected?) for my first and only cut stone order - a gorgeous tiny green garnet and a wonderfully clear and shimmering little soft pink trillian morganite that I set into a braided silver band for my wife - both were in sale and dirt cheap, but still came fabulously packaged and presented and with an issue of their curious little gemstone encyclopaedia included.

Didn't really look through their cabs as I got caught up in all the sparkles heheh...

Well I've only gone and placed an order now with Gemstone Collector as well. Was very restrained 'cos I'm a bit broke (so what's new!). Please can you stop suggesting suppliers before I go totally bankrupt Looking forward to seeing what turns up.

Sorry...someone asked.....

[MeadMoon]

I didn't get the gemstone encyclopaedia, but everything was so beautifully packaged and presented it wasn't missed. The stones are lovely and I'm now terrified to try and set them in case I mess it up. Particularly since I was drawn mainly to the opals...

[MeadMoon]

Talk about service above and beyond. Barry from Gem Collector saw my post above and emailed me to say that a copy of the gemstone encyclopaedia would be put in the post for me. Definitely a supplier to be recommended!

Pretty good; now, what's the chance of getting him to delurk?

Of course, it may have been an email notification of Gem Collector being mentioned in searches.
