Recent piece

**Ley** · 15-03-2010, 09:48 PM

I've recently made this piece using a lovely large agate cab that I was given by a very generous friend. I'm quite chuffed and don't intend to sell this one, but does anyone know where I can get similar cabochons for reasonable prices?

http://www.4shared.com/file/24199839.../DSCN1957.html I thought I'd loadedan image but it isn't showing this is the URL to see it.

Thats lovely! I like the beaded band too. What size is the cabochon?

Hmm, I had trouble with their direct image URL too. Copying & pasting the forum code works though.

That's a beautiful piece of Agate and super setting too!

Thanks for the nice comments, cab is about 1/5" or a bit more by about 1" really beautiful and I'm lucky to have such a generous friend.

My larger cabs have come from www.designercabochons.co.uk they often go to some of the larger Bead Shows too, there is a list on the website.

There's a good Rock'n'Gem show at Kempton Park this coming weekend where there are often bargains but no GGs. Dennis.

I went to the Chepstow one at the end of January and spent too much!! I did get some nice amber, a couple of largish Ocean Jasper cabs and a small 1cm2 square cab of dark golden brown pietersite which I had not seen before. I got the last 3 from Helen Carver Lapidary. They don't have a website but from their leaflet will also be at Kempton this weekend, Cheltenham Racecourse 27/28 Mar, Newark Showground 24/25 Apr and Kempton again 5/6 June. Are any of those near you Ley?
