Supply help--I need domes!
Feb. 27th, 2010 01:55 amI use hollow acrylic domes in jewelry--specifically, to protect small animal bones on cabochon settings. ( Like this rat skull necklace! )
BUT not all my skulls fit into the 30x22mm hollow domes I have, and these are the absolute biggest ones I can find on Etsy. (The rest are the magnifying kind that don't have the internal depth that I need.) I messaged the person I bought them from and asked her if she had seen any larger ones anywhere, and she directed me to Kit Kraft, but their ellipses aren't quite deep enough, I'm waiting to hear how deep the domes are (but they look a bit TOO deep for jewelry), and in any case, I'd prefer ovals to circles.
I get the impression that these are more of a scrapbooking/papercraft supply than a jewelry supply, and I don't scrapbook, so I'm asking you guys. In short, here's what I need:
- Clear hollow domes, preferably oval-shaped, but the material doesn't matter (I'm fine with glass OR plastic)
- With an internal depth of 3/8" at least
- And length/width measurements of at least 1.5"x1.25" / 40x30mm
- NOT magnifying!
Thanks in advance!
