I was wondering how someone would go about selling mabe?

I know someone who trained as a jeweler and puts them together in their spare time as a hobby. ie. removes the mabe from the shell and attaches a polished MOP back to them.

They would like to make some "pocket money" by selling what they have put together.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Mods feel free to delete this post if it violates any rules.

Edit: The seller would be looking towards making private sales as they aren't holding enough stock to make a commerical venture.

The mabe are in limited supply and should be thought of as items that are truly individual and lovingly hand crafted, as the person is very particular about getting the look, just right.

The nuclei are removed and a filler added before a hand crafted MOP backing plate is affixed.

The pieces would come unmounted and it would be up to the buyer to do with as they wish. While I can not state with any accuracy what is available there would be drop, rounds and heart shaped mabe. And possibly some black lipped mabe as well.

Photos of each piece can be made available.

Pricing would be around the Australian $50 mark - as far as I understand at this stage.
