Plastic templates for use in designing cabochon shapes in the lapidary shop. This listing is for Teardrop 2 Shapes. There are two ranges of shapes on this sheet. The upper set has heights between 1 inch and 3, and widths from 3/8 to 1 1/8. The lower set is 1 inch to 3.5 inches in height, and 5/16 to 1 1/16 inches wide.

Talisman Templates have some characteristics that set them apart form other available templates:
- Our template shapes come in a range of sizes in a series of 1/4 inch increments. Most sheets have sizes from 3/4 inch to 2 1/4 inches. Some start with 1/2 inch size and include up to 3 inches height size. For some shapes we offer separately a complimenting series of "Big Bold" shapes which are sized 2 1/2 to 3 inches.
- Strong, yet very flexible, LDHP plastic.
- The material has a translucent quality, so you can see patterns within the stone that are outside the template window. This allows you to choose the optimal mineral composition in your cabochon shape.
- Template sheets are 5.5 inches in height and 11.5 inches wide. This horizontal orientation allows you to easily view the template window from directly above, and movement as you view options in your shape is less likely to be impeded by desktop or work table clutter, other tools and/or tight space.
- Each sheet has a cutaway loop for hanging on a pegboard or other organization system.
- New shapes! Terrie from Talisman Shops has personally designed interesting shapes which aren't found in other template series.
- Traditional Shapes are also offered to round out your template collection
