yes, this isn't PMC class - just regular beginners jewelry/metalwork class - instructions were "get a cab, flat on the bottom, preferably round or oval as they are easier, and don't get a stone that is too soft. Oh and not too big, and not too small as you might lose it - or if you get a small one, get several in case you lose it - maybe between 12-30 mm would be a good size - you will be making a ring or a pendant, whichever you prefer."
I figure those instructions are pretty loose - am wondering why a glass cab would be any different to set than a stone cab - unless the shape is really that different. I also have to buy the bezel silver - so I can get as thick or thin as I think I need with whatever cab I get. Perhaps I should wait to play with the glass until I get my kiln and start playing with PMC? Nah, I think I want a glass cab, and I'll bring a back up stone cab of some sort in case the glass one doesn't work...
