Anyone know a good source for faceted glass jewels? I was looking for some to wire wrap, like this pendant:

I found some, but the quality wasn't too good. I need really clean edges and unchipped corners. I don't know if anyone here does anything with fake gems, but thought I'd ask. I just wanted to make some "pretties" without spending a fortune on them. I just can't afford real or simulated large gems right now.

Thanks,

also, check with GenBead. I don't think they have them on their website, but they have a huge area with them, that if you were willing to take some sight unseen, they might be willing to work with yoiu?

- I ran across this auction whilebrowsing..."Over 90 Carats of Cabochon Gemstones + 10 Carats of FacetedGemstones" and it's at $18.55 so far. Seller says you'll get atleast 10 carats worth of gemstones and a combined retail price ofover $25.00.

Lovely! I know I've stumbled across a source somewhere. As soon as I have time, I'll go over my bookmarks and see what I can unearth...

Thanks for the tips everyone! That bconklin on ebay has some great looking faceted stones. They're ovals, which I can use too, although I'd like some more retangles.

Also, the Purple Finch site has some neat stuff too!
