Where to find Jaipur-cut pyramids, half-moons, trilliants and arrowheads at shows, and what sizes to expect

Head to Jaipur-cut gemstone strand importers and faceted gemstone strand dealers. They most often carry pyramids, half-moons, trilliants and arrowheads. Expect trilliants in the 6 to 10 mm bracket, arrowheads around 12 to 25 mm, pyramids commonly near 9x15 mm and half-moons around 11x15 mm. Cab-only and rough booths rarely stock drilled fancy shapes.

What size bails or jump rings fit pyramid and trilliant gemstone beads?

Measure the drill height, the center of the hole to the nearest edge. Pick a jump ring whose inner diameter is about twice that distance so it swings freely. For example, a .5 mm drill height needs roughly a 1 mm ID. Choose the thickest wire that passes the hole smoothly.
