Commissioned Jewelry: Find a Maker & Source Your Own Stones


Question
I am interested in getting a custom piece of jewelry made but this time would like to purchase my stones separatly and find a jewelry maker that would be able to make my custom piece that way I can save the money of the middle man retail store. You can view a picture of my piece at this link: http://myspace-524.vo.llnwd.net/00811/42/58/811588524_l.jpg
I will like to know how to purchase the stones I need, and also how would I locate a jewelry maker. Thank You

Answer
Greetings,
I have many questions in which to answer yours.

Stone wholesalers are plentiful worldwide.
I would check your local yellow pages and see whats nearby.
I guess it depends upon where you are......sometimes there are fairs at which the public can purchase bulk stones etc.
Many different people could create this piece for you.
Once again this is dependant upon where you are located.

Good Luck, P
*I could certainly source the stones for you and make the piece, however I am in Australia which may pose some problems but is not impossible.
