<p>[QUOTE="lizjewel, post: 2007513, member: 13874"][USER=8708]@KSW[/USER] I am the owner of a very large stash of c.j. stones of all types. If you were to tell me what size stone you need in mm diameter, I'd be happy to mail you some if you wish, at no charge. I realize you're in UK but I think I can stand the postage in a little safe non-tear envelope. I invite you to lizjewel dot com to find how to get in touch if you're interested. As far as what type stone you should use, it's entirely up to your personal taste. Turquoise, moonstone, coral, lapis, green jadeite, by themselves or any combination thereof you can think of would all look great on a brass brooch. I'd avoid black stones, or stark white ones though. Black conveys mourning and is very limiting fashionwise if you wish to get some wear out of it. White is usually reserved for summer jewelry and brass does not say "summer" in the least, to me anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
