looking for pendant basket retailer

[rparker1998]

I''m looking to make my own pendant and am not sure what type of basket/pendant to buy. Does anyone have any good recommendations for online vendors for just the basket/setting/mmounting?

I have a red mexican fire opal and a diamond (1/8th or so carat) that i''d like to set into a WHITE GOLD pendant.

Thamnksl!

You want to mount it yourself? I wouldn't recommend that with an opal...

If you want a jeweler to do it they can order you a Stuller setting very reasonably.

I''d prefer to have a local jeweller order the basket and set it.

Ditto.

Are you just looking for somewhere to send your stone to be set? Pretty much any jewelery retailer will have those available to them, online or no. So you can just find a vendor with whom you feel comfortable working.

no no no...i''m sorry....forgive my stupid ramble...allow me to be more specific. I want to find the basket pendant myself onlline, and then take my stone and diamond and have a jeweler mount everything for me....

so take my basket, my stone and my diamond and have the jeweler "assemble" it....

the opal is 5x7

thanks.

Just choose something from Stuller.com then have the jeweller order it for you..
I hope you have a decent jeweller, as there will be next to no profit in this project for them - some aren''t that nice

A layperson isn''t able to order anything from Stuller; only a jeweller. It''s pretty cheap anyway and the markup is so low that it''s best to just let the jeweller handle everything.

Chrono not sure if you were replying to me or no..?
Thats why I said to Rparker "......and have the jeweller order it for you."
