Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has any good recommendations for gemstone suppliers for cabochons?
I live within reach of the jewellery quarter in brum, so have scoured those in the phone book there, largely ive found little in the way of precious / semi-precious cabs except for at Wards - and while a magical wonderland - I'm not looking at the way expensive end of the spectrum. I want nice stones, but say sub £25 each, lest I demolish them during setting.
Usually I use cooksons or Manchester minerals, but for example, you can't buy a decent sized topaz or aquamarine cab from either. Etsy have them, but I feel like I wanna know where the etsy folks get them from....
Online is good to as I work and while taking a day off to go see stone merchants that only open mon-fri is delicious, it's not always possible.
Many thanks
Faith
