Our all-time favourite place to buy gorgeous high quality freeform designer cabochons. Bob Bleily has been cutting cabochons for millions of years and has a knack for cutting them just the way we jewellery artists love. Cut from quality materials, Bob creates cabochons so beautiful and highly polished it's enough to make your mother weep. Picasso cabochons depicting trees & lightening strikes,... awesome!.

<< Please note, this website is currently undergoing some changes so you might find some pages don't display yet. However, the Peanut Cabochons are back up and available again for purchase and for anything else, we find a quick email telling them what we need establishes a friendly professional dialog and ends with cabochons far superior in quality than I have purchased anywhere else in the past.
