Any thoughts on where to get brass tube for stone setting. Want to set a 3.18mm facetted garnet. Gold is out of my budget

4mm rod and drill it?

Walsh have it Sheena. It's just over 0.3mm thick, so ideal for setting. the website is not user friendly, but there is a drop down menu indicated by a small arrow at the bottom roughly above the word basket.

I hadn't thought of that :) that would be rather interesting for doing an unusual flush setting with a thick bit of rod.

Thanks Dennis will get ordering. I really would prefer to use gold, but wouldn't we all ;)
