Barry,

1) do you have any pictures of 1/2" amethyst single gem plugs?

I will as soon as the stones come forth.

2) can 1/2" eyelets be made with 20 or 22 stones?

20. (21 is the default, but for even numbers 20 it is.)



3) do you have an idea of when you will have color-true pictures of all of the stones up?

---

Once I get them all in... I am taking pictures like a mad dog with what I have now. I decided that just taking a picture of a raw stone would not suffice, so I am taking pictures of them set in place.

Possum it is!

24.

BAF: 24 is now the standard for 9/16"

Will there ever be a chance of getting the dark (black?) opals in to be used with the gem eyelets. Because if so, I'll pretty much jizz.

*shifty eyes*

I'm very excited to receive my first pair in the next few weeks!!!

We can do opal #32 in cabs.

Thanks for answering my first question. I would still love an answer for the 2nd one though. Are your 00g eyelets 9mm, 10mm, or in-between? Thanks!

whoops.. sorry I missed that.

Our 0ga is .325, or 8.25MM... closer to 8 than 9.

Order up.... we can do single or double flare no problem at all. On single flares you can even specify wearing space.

Barry the new stuff is looking ridiculous, great work

Why thank you...

I asked about 00g, not 0g. []

At least you know how busy I am!

00ga = .375, or 9.5MM

Thak you!

Right now the smallest single gems we make are at 8ga, and thats a 6mm stone.

Whoops totoally forgot to mention I have 0g lobes. So would a 9mm stone be an option? Or if not, what is the smallest stone that can be placed in 0g plugs?

By the way, I got my pink tourmaline blings yesterday and wow do they *sparkle*! Best gem color I have so far I really have to get pics up in the other thread!

no way.... i imagine only in the small eyelet-sized format... either way that's awesome.

For single stones we only have 8ga in stock for opals.

Once we get caught up on the brilliant cut stones we will be making an order.

Heck, we have ALL stones in stock for 8ga single gems.... Carnelian to Black Onyx to Malachite (and on and on).

Every stone you see listed at the bottom of the link below can go into 8ga:

So any of the cabochon gems can be used in custom eyelets?

YOU ARE SO AMAZING!!!

oh god oh god oh god, NEED PHOTOSHOP STAT

Holy shit. My first pair of blings are going to be black opal and malachite, when I get the moneys. That's definitely possible, right? Anatometal/BAF are amazing [:-hearts]

I'd hope it to be possible! If it is, GOODBYE MONEY, HELLO JOY.

Barry, will/are the cabochon stones (be) available in single gem plugs as large as 1/2"?

Also, do the moonstone cabochon gems (in any size) have a translucency to them, or are they definitely opaque? Are they pure white, or do they have some blue/other color in them?
