Any recommendations for a reliable and good source for Cabs in NYC.
I have been looking for 8x6 Pears and was told that although its a
standard size in other places it is not a standard size. in NY. and
that they would have to be custom made.

They have pear shaped cabs in opaque semi-precious but not in
tranparents. Rhodolite, Peridot,Citrine, Amethyst etc.
And in all cases no 6x8’s. I am so frustrated !! I thought you could
get everything in NYC…
I tried having them made by my bead maker in India but. that didn’t
work out. I wonder if there is a maker here in the states. Nothing is
ever simple in this business.
Thank you for your reply Elliot. Sorry to sound so dreary, I am just
back from the city and I am frustrated and deflated. but NOT
defeated!
I am speechless !! thank you all for your suggestions and direction.
The following are looking very hopeful:
Allan Goldman/ Getting back to me with prices
Kotel Importers NYC/ Looking very promising (Thanks Richard) I
will call them Monday.
Stratura in Uxbridge, Had 6x8 Amethyst cabs but, could not source
other stones I needed. They said that 6x8 was a standard US size.
so, there you go. Ellie at Stratura suggested Stuller and lone and
behold they had Pear shaped cabs!!!
They also have a special order system available when other sizes are
required. I will have to get an account to find out prices. (Thanks
MA)
R Gems NYC: So good to know that the exist!! One of the first Gem
cutting business’s in NYC. I am sure they will be able to help me.
(Thanks Kathy)
All other suggestions are welcome Thank you all so very much!
I would like to give my business to an American based company if at
all possible and thanks to you all it looks like I will be able to
do that.
