[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 281597, member: 2976"] James, here's a couple of places you might try, I have bought stuff from both.... [url=https://www.aemetal.com.au/Webstore/default.aspx]A&E Metals[/url] [url=http://jewellerssupplies.com.au/casting-melting-c-24.html?__utma=187725425.1070348979.1465684292.1465684292.1465684292.1&__utmb=187725425.0.10.1465684292&__utmc=187725425&__utmx=-&__utmz=187725425.1465684292.1.1.utmcsr=google]Australian Jewellers Supplies[/url] As already mentioned, the pre-made settings are called "findings". There are also "settings", check both out. A mate brought round a big black tourmaline schorl crystal a while back. We were going to facet it with a checkerboard crown, crown only and leave a flat bottom for setting in a bezel cup. Unfortunately, it was full of fractures and broke apart while pre-forming. Post a piccie when you're finished, I'd like to see it :) [/QUOTE]
