Mixed faceted stones for stone setting practice
Bundles of mixed faceted stones for jewellery makers to practice stone setting.
These facets are a real mix – mostly synthetic pieces and glass. There may be some genuine gemstones in there; sometimes if theres a stone I can’t identify that came with a job lot I just drop it in..
Obviously, they’re not great for actual jewellery making but they are perfect for practicing stone setting. Some are scratched or have small chips; they are intended as practice stones.
You’ll receive a mix of colours, sizes, shapes and materials.
We offer a ranges of sizes, as some people wouldn’t want to practice setting the larger stones, and almost noone will want to practice setting the small stones unless they are a masochist.
Sizes include:
- 0-2MM, mostly white and champagne coloured; probably CZ. Few occasional coloured stones. I’m not joking about the size, these are microscopic. You’ll lose 9/10 just by opening the bag somehow.
- 2-10MM, much more variety, with some dyed glass, some synthetics, and the odd real or lab stone too. I try to ensure a mix of shapes and colours but darker and brown stones seem to be more common.
- 10-20MM, not something I get in too often so will vary pretty drastically and may also be one colour only.

Frequently asked questions and delivery information
How do we grade stones?
There is no overall universal grading system for the majority of our products. As such, the grades we use are internal only. They simply refer to higher and lower qualities, but they may be entirely different grades to other websites. C grade pieces are of lower quality than B grade, which is lower than A grade.
How does our ordering and delivery process work?
You place an order via the website. When it’s been picked and packed, your order will be marked as completed and dropped off at our local post office. We have an account with the post office called a “Drop and Go” account, which allows the post office staff to process our parcels when they have free time, rather than me queuing up and delaying everyone else.
I get tracking information etc online when this has been completed. I typically do not send tracking information to customers unless they request it – but if you’ve requested tracked postage, it has been sent tracked! If you have any worries or concerns about your parcel being delayed please feel free to get in touch and I’ll send the tracking info over! We also get delivery confirmations for parcels over 25MM thick by default.
How do international orders work?
After Brexit, with the UK leaving the European Union, certain things have changed with regards to international orders. European Union customers will now likely be liable to pay the same amount of import VAT as any other international customers. You will be responsible for any customs and import fees.
I’d like to return my order for a refund.
No problem at all – just get in touch and we’ll arrange it. You can read our full returns policy here.
What payment methods do you accept?
I can accept Paypal, Stripe, cheque, and direct bank transfers. Paypal and Stripe will both allow you to pay with credit and debit cards.
You can get in touch via our contact page with any questions. 🙂
