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 jewelry 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. |

Lynette Owen's work with Dichroic glass is some of the best work I have ever seen. Her pendants are simply drop dead gorgeous. How she does them so perfectly and with so much detail is beyond my comprehension. But even more amazing is her sheer number of designs,..so many to choose from, and she just keeps coming up with new designs all the time, it is mind boggling. She sells her work on ebay with ID: silvermoonlyn and over at DeWanda with ID: DichroMania, so check them out if you're after an eye-popping pendant to wear on it's own,.. or to use as a stunning focal pendant to add to your own work. If you want to get an idea quickly of what I am talking about,...just have a look here at her enormous gallery of past work Lynette Owen. Warning: Get ready to pick up your jaw from the floor.
