source for gold pendant blanks?

[KatherinePlumer]

Hey all, I'd appreciate some input regarding sources for gold pendant blanks. I know about Rio Grande, but was hoping for something a little heavier than what they sell. Anyone know a place to get something? 14K or 18K, 20ga or 18ga? About an inch in diameter, or a little less?

Thanks.

Katherine

Stuller will stamp out any gauge you require. As will Hoover and Strong.

Stuller has a 26mm round stamping that comes in 14K and 17, 18, 20, and 24 gauge: 26.0mm Circle with Jump Ring

Stuller has an entire catalog of pendants for sale in different metals, guages and purity.

Doesn't Stuller require buyers to have retail jewelry stores, or has that changed?

don't know about Stuller, but H&S used to have a policy like that which forced me to order pure platinum thru a jewelry store, but a year or two ago they started letting me order direct. (complete with a Homeland Security declaration form that i wasn't gonna do anything untoward a 1/4 oz of platinum. sheesh...) maybe they decided in this economy it wasn't a good idea to limit their client base?

I buy from them (Stuller) and I don't have a store. The required a sales tax certificate. They called it an artisans account.

My trade shop definitely isn't retail. I order from Stuller's full product line. Same thing with Hoover.

Hoover refused to sell me gold as a hobbiest engraver several years ago. I'm glad they have changed their policy.

Very confusing because their website they sell to jewelry stores only. Maby I read it wrong.
