Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 "Building" some holsters, including a set for a sister. Pondering decorating with turquoise; Tandy has phony "dome rivet" spots, but wondering about perhaps a single large (real?) mounted cabochon on each holster's "strap." Might anyone have alternate suggestions on where to find such? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 @Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 I don’t know if this site is legit and I don’t know if one has to be a dealer to buy from it but it looks very economical. https://alltribes.com/wholesale-turquoise/?msclkid=c175eff8c55212434a538a428f5c6a6a&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=**LP - NonTM - Turquoise - Wholesale&utm_term=Turquoise Cabochons&utm_content=Turquoise Cabochons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilli GaHoot Galoot Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) Sometimes just doing a search for what you're looking for and looking at the "image" results works, I like looking at the pictures https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=237b9e3607b773e7&sxsrf=ACQVn09YwGq0npJIKVpnox5Ba4hg44ppIA:1706711460104&q=mounted+cabochon&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiDx8DS64eEAxViLzQIHd3aAWcQ0pQJegQIDBAB&biw=1493&bih=940&dpr=1 Edited January 31 by VinnieBoomBah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horace Patootie, SASS #35798 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I am working on a knife sheath that is dark brown. At Tandy Leather, I bought some punches and turquoise leather lacing and artificial sinew. Tandy leather has LOTS of stuff. Fortunately a store is just a few minutes from me.

J-BAR #18287 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) My wife makes beaded jewelry. She orders a lot of supplies from Fire Mountain Gems: https://www.firemountaingems.com/ Search that website for turquoise. She recommends visiting a bead store near you. They may have everything you need in stock. Edited January 31 by J-BAR #18287 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Joker Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I don't have a Tandy nearby and have in the past found them a bit expensive. I use a website called the leather guy and get it shipped. Great sales on sides shoulders and scraps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawhorse Kid Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 If you go the rivet route, make sure you test them on a piece of scrap. You will want to make sure it will secure to the leather weight in question. I have bought Dome rivets off the shelf a Tandy and the ones I bought will not even secure to my thinnest leather 5/6oz. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
