Frames with "Bling"

**Da Hammer** · 10-04-2007, 12:05 PM

I have a question for the many frame experts here. We have a patient that is looking for frames with lots of rhinestones on them. We carry coach which has a few but this patient asks for more gaudy and showy. Her exact words were I would love a leopard design with lots of rhinestones. This is most certainly not my area of expertise, and my optician has been drawing blanks trying to come up with something. I have thought of Cazals, but do you all have any other suggetions or ideas? Thanks in advance

They can be made from, get a zyl frame and set stones in them.

14 different options in one day. This board should be payed a consultation fee. :D

**chip anderson** · 10-04-2007, 05:33 PM

Actually you can go to Michaels or whatever hobby or craft shop you have and get all the rhinestones or even swvarsky crystals you want very very inexepenively and put 'em where you want 'em.

Wow Billy! Amazing. Now that I'm at an independent I finally get to look through catalogs and I see your name in Tura. I'm just like holy! I know that dude! :cheers:

Caviar and Cazal. One is large w/stones while the other is smaller with stones. Oh yeah, they both have the leopard print with the stones.

Jerry,

How about some pointers? (How to set them, how to make them stay, the do's and don'ts)

If you want to post in the "Private Forum", I'll pay your entrance fee. (seriously, pm me, it would be worth every penny)
