Pewter fittings and gems

[mmcnealy]

Here's an update on the costuming front....

Last night I ordered the pewter fittings from my purse and belt from these good folks.

And I found some *wonderful* ruby cabachons (and antique cut gems too!) , at a good price from these folks

They also have some nice garnets and other pretty red stones.

I've decided to wait and get the pendant fittings after I pick out the stone(s), that way I get one that works with the stone, not the other way around. I may have to get Sly to help me set it if I get one that doesn't work with one of the "easy set" fittings from Fire Mountain.

Ooh, thanks for the gem site. Might be some baubles in my price rage :)

I have a belt and mount from Fettered Cock that I really like. I probably mentioned this already, though... I don't remember. Which fittings did you get? I have the rose belt with the little rose mounts and buckle.

I got the buckler fittings with the rose buckle and strap end.

I'm glad you really enjoy their stuff, gives me hope that I'll be really pleased with it too.
