New bracelet blanks

I recently bought some bracelet blanks that I am quite happy with. The closure is actually on top behind the cabochon tray, and that is a hinge on the bottom part.

The one thing that I'm not happy about with these is that I ordered black. The ones that I got were actually a gunmetal color. I'll still be able to use them, but I would much rather have had black, as it is much more versatile with the images I get from magazines and catalogs to make cabochons.

I'm going to keep looking around for another supplier to hopefully be able to find some actual black ones.
I'll post pictures of some bracelets with the cabochons later, once I get some made up!
