looking for unmounted agate cameos?

I make cameo jewelry. I'm looking for blue agate cameos with different features on them. I do not want mounted cameos.

John asks…

Are there any videos online that show exactly how to use Metal Clay with a conventional gas oven or stove top?

I want to add a rough metal edge to natural agate and bloodstone cabs. Any Silver, bronze or even copper metal clays. And I want to know how to do it without buying a kiln. I cannot afford this in my beginning stages of jewelry making. Please help
Thanks

Here is link to a huge list of videos.

From my understanding though you can't use a regular oven because you have to get the temps up. You can use direct heat with the stove top or butane torch.

Gas Stove: A regular gas burner can also be used for low-fire varieties of metal clay that are 25 grams or less in size. It's best to cover the burner with a metal mesh to make sure your piece doesn't fall into it, and of course, for safety reasons you can't just stick something on your fired up burner and walk away. As with all types of firing equipment, proper ventilation is essential when firing.

Where can i find old swarovski jewelry; jewelry that was specifically sold in their stores at one time?

I have been looking all over for a necklace set that I saw once in a Swarovski store but I can't find it anywhere. Part of the problem is that when I do a search online for Swarovski jewelry, hundreds and hundreds of results appear because people use Swarovsky crystals to make their own jewelry. How can I find jewelry that was actually sold by Swarovski???


(I checked their website and I couldn't find it.)

The necklace set in question is made up of many dark blue agate slices that had crystals (which looked like diamonds) on the outer edges of each slice. I believe it had a matching bracelet.

William asks…

For TRUE fashionistas, here's a Q.: Who is the jewelry designer of the DAISY quartz ring in Sex & the City?

Sex & the City's Season 6, Episode 76 - I'm looking to find out where I can buy the DAISY quartz ring that Charlotte is wearing when she wants to become a Jew. It's a big cocktail ring. It has 7 petals made of clear briolettes, and yellow agate (?) center, making the ring to look like a daisy. It's a BIG ring. I loved it when I saw it on this episode. I have NO clue where I can get it. For you true fashionistas, this is a challenge! Let me know who designed it, and where I can get it! Thank you in advance!

admin answers:

I can't find that one in particular, but this site has lots of jewelry inspired by Sex & the City.
