Replacing marcasites?

[Midge]

I've just hit a bit of a wall, so I thought I'd ask here ;).

I need to replace small round marcasites on a vintage evening bag. The craft shop here in the city that carries really just about everything needed to make jewelery doesn't carry them. My mom had a source through a friend, that sold them, but they just closed their shop - the owner was over 70 I think. My next move was to look online, however either I wasn't able to find anything (maybe I was searching the wrong way?).

So I'd like to know, does anyone of you have a good online source where they could be purchased? I figured that there are people here who maybe have repaired vintage jewelry or accessories set with marcasites before...

Thanks!

Try a jeweller Karin - they don't charge much to replace the stones.

I like mrstones. Very nice quality and inexpensive.

I would also suggest mrstones or try eBay - I have found them there in the past. The other possibilty is Steph at www.prettysnazzy.com I didn't check to see if she has any but she is a pleasure to deal with.

Good luck!
