Missing jewel

I picked up a gen 1570 movement with a missing jewel. Where does one go about sourcing a replacement? Would a watchsmith have these handy?

Thanks for the advice!

1570s contain a number of jewels. Knowing which jewel it is & where the jewel came from would help. If you can locate the specs for the jewel, you can purchase generic jewels (which are fine) from any of the watch parts houses (julesborel.com, cousinsuk.com, ofrei.com, etc). Depending on the jewel, you may also need a jewel press or stalking tool to install the new jewel. You may be better off having a watchmaker handle this.
