    Default shaped gems

    hey! any ideas where i can get good quality gemstones, cab and facetted, on line? i made a necklace for a friend using a long marquise shaped, cabachon turquiose as the t-bar catch. she had got the stone from a trip to boston years ago. it worked really well and would love to try setting more big stricking stones like this

    I use these guys quiet a bit take a look.

    Marquise Jewels - Gemstone Cabochons, Beads and Jewellery Findings

    I also buy gemstones from Magpie but can't access my account at the moment to post a link, I'm sure I got the details from here though if you want to do a search.
