Default faceted glass jewels

Anyone know a good source for faceted glass jewels? I was looking for some
to wire wrap, like this pendant:

www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/prong1.jpg

I found some, but the quality wasn't too good. I need really clean edges
and unchipped corners. I don't know if anyone here does anything with fake
gems, but thought I'd ask. I just wanted to make some "pretties" without
spending a fortune on them. I just can't afford real or simulated large
gems right now.

Thanks,

also, check with GenBead. I don't think they have them on their website,
but they have a huge area with them, that if you were willing to take some
sight unseen, they might be willing to work with yoiu?

http://tinyurl.com/lok7 - I ran across this auction while
browsing...
"Over 90 Carats of Cabochon Gemstones + 10 Carats of Faceted
Gemstones" and it's at $18.55 so far. Seller says you'll get at
least 10 carats worth of gemstones and a combined retail price of
over $25.00. shrug

Lovely! I know I've stumbled across a source somewhere. As soon as I
have time, I'll go over my bookmarks and see what I can unearth...

Thanks for the tips everyone! That bconklin on ebay has some great looking
faceted stones. They're ovals, which I can use too, although I'd like some
more retangles.

Also, the Purple Finch site has some neat stuff too!
