My sister is a pilot and has asked me to make a small pair of low-profile stud earrings, so that her headset doesn't catch on them.
The problem I am finding is that all the cabochons I keep seeing are all quite domed in profile? As in a sphere cut in half. I'm after something that is closer to a disc with smooth edges, maybe a slight dome in the middle.
I was wondering if:
A - This kind of stone has a specific name that I don't know, resulting in me not being able to find them
B - Anyone can point me in the right direction to a supplier that might stock things like this?
My sister is fond of purple, so it's likely to be Amethyst, Iolite, or maybe Moonstone (which I know isn't purple...!)
Thanks all.
