Even at that, they are sometimes plastic substitutes rather than genuine mother of pearl. Since each diamond is painstakingly inlayed by hand it adds considerable cost to the table. Close-up photos of our diamonds are shown below. The upper photo is abalone on sanibel maple finish, the lower is mother of pearl on colonial maple. Because of the large variety of styles and colors available, Gandy does not supply pockets with its tables but rather relies upon its dealers to offer customers a good selection.
Pockets add a great deal to the beauty of a table.
We highly recommend that you choose carefully and even consider paying more for a truly elegant pocket. Since deluxe pockets in a variety of styles have been especially color coordinated for Gandy by R.C. Designs, you may wish to consult with your dealer about ordering custom pockets. Cloth, like pockets, comes in a huge array of colors and quality, which your Gandy dealer will be happy to show you. We recommend any good 21 oz. What is included in the package varies from dealer to dealer, and sometimes dealers will have a deluxe package available at somewhat higher cost.
