  Who are your go-to suppliers for mother of pearl/abalone/paua etc.

  I used Rescue Pearl a lot in the past but she is working toward retiring and doesn’t have much left.

  Thanks for any ideas.

  I get the majority of my pearl from https://www.ebay.com/usr/jnnpearlinlay , and get headstock overlay designs from DePaule Supply. J&N pearl is very well packaged and clearly marked for everything you need to know later (thickness, diameter, Inches, mm, radius color, stock number ect.). Everything I’ve purchased from J&N is top shelf and the way they package it is very professional. It comes from overseas so it it takes 3-4 weeks to receive it. Thier shipping cost went ionospheric when US tarriffs were announced, but I just placed a $120 order and shipping is now around $6.
