Default Pins with Abalone Inlays

I have a vintage parlor with inlaid Abalone on the top. I think matching bone or ivory pins inlaid with Abalone would be cool. Where to buy?

I buy a lot of parts here. Many will say not to but I have had excellent results with almost everything I've purchased here.

Bob Colosi...great guy, great products, very particular about the quality of his items. If you engage him he will either make a recommendation or if you send him an existing example, he will replicate it.

He isn't what I would call cheap (not outre either!), but personally I wouldn't go anywhere else at this point in time.

I make my own, so all I can do is give some advice, if you have them locally made it will not be cheap, easily a couple of hrs making bone pins with an abalone inlay, that equates to expensive.

If you buy from some place like ebay aliexpress etc, dont be critical as they are being bulk manufactured to be available at less than a materials cost to the rest of us.
