Hey folks,
I have a couple loose stones hanging around that I'd like to use in pendants for my self and others. What I'm wondering is if anyone knows of places that sell pendant mountings in silver with turquoise as an accent? The picture below is a picture of my current favorite pendant I'm looking for something similar to it. Can anyone help a girl out?

That inlay looks to be Opal of some sort. I went to Etsy and typed in "Opal Inlay Pendant", many pendants similar to yours came up. I'd suggest contacting one of those makers and see if they will set one of your stones in their designs.

I only found one vendor with similar opal inlay merchandise on etsy, I've contacted then. Google doesn't seem to be helpful, anyone have other leads?

The entire state of New Mexico. Seriously. There is a company out of Albuquerque called Mati or Kabana (it's the same company, just different names) that does a lot of opal inlay. They also do custom stuff. As for other places, you might look into Gertrude Zachary, but I don't know that they do a lot of custom work: https://www.gertrudezachary.com/ Tourists seem to like this place a lot as well: http://www.palmstrading.com/ mostly because they have TONS of stuff (barely anything is on the website) and it's pretty cheap as well.

Lilly Barrack is a lot less likely, but might as well list her: http://www.lillybarrack.com/
She tends to work with a lot of rough stones, which I think is pretty awesome. Especially her rockin' unheated aquamarine pieces. But they really don't have much of an online presence, no pieces are listed.

Everywhere else is probably to small too have a significant online presence, but there would probably be two dozen shops/artisans in Old Town Albuquerque who could make it pretty easily.
