Custom and Cabochons
Cabochons are flat bottomed stones for use in jewellery making. The cabochons on this page are all handmade by me using combinations of transparent, opaque, reactive and dichroic glass fused in my kiln. I use these cabochons in my jewellery.
You can purchase these stones for your own making, or for being made into a bespoke piece of your own. If you are interested in anything here, please go to 'Get a Quote' at the bottom of this page and send me a message. I can give you a final price along with postage and any duty to be paid.
For jewellery makers: Glass is 5.5 - 6 on the Mohs hardness scale and not easily scratched. The stones are irregular in shape because the glass is hand-cut, so will not fit into a pre-made bezel cup. They have a maximum depth of 6mm. Sizes are approximate.
Blue Opalesque
These cabochons are made with opaque and dichroic glass. They catch the light and have a beautiful rainbow shimmer, reminding me of opals.
£4 each
Coastline
These cabochons are made by fusing opaque and transparent glass in random layers, forming cabochons that I think look like an ariel view of coastlines. Most have a high gloss finish, 6 and 7 have been tumbled for a matte finish.

Ice
I love the classic simplicity of these dichroic glass cabochons. Some have a rainbow shimmer, some pink or gold, all eye-catching. I find they are very versatile and enhance any piece of jewellery. Pictures have been taken on silver sheet, so you may see a reflection.
