Several of the newer cabs are water-jet cut by an associate of mine.  They are for the most part multi-layered, mosaic type pieces, and are somewhat thicker because of the multitude of layers.  Because of this, expect to see some air holes around the perimeter of the cab -- which is how trapped air escapes while fusing.  

My specialty is layered and shaped fused glass dichroic art cabs:  gemstone-like cabochons with sparkling depth, incorporating many layers of color and interplay of patterns.  I build up the layers of glass over 2-3 firings in the kiln.  Then I use a glass saw or glass grinder to develop the best shapes, grinding the edges to polish and bevel each cab for maximum brilliance.  A final fire-polishing in the kiln brings out the beauty of each handcrafted art cabochon.  I also make other cabs:  free-forms, nuggets, channel pendants (slides), and lava cabs.  Prices vary, depending upon the style, finish, and grade of the cab. 

These are one-of-a-kind, so multiples of the same item are not possible.  You can also find pendant cabs (with a bail already attached) on my pendants pages.  The slide pendants will also be found on the dichroic pendants page, since all they need is your cord, chain, or stringing to make them ready-to-wear!

You've probably already heard how difficult it is to properly photograph dichroic cabs, and it's the same here:  if you receive your cabs and they're not what you expected based on the photos, they can be returned or exchanged.  This is my worry-free pact with you.  Most people tell me the cabs look BETTER in person than the photos!  But you be the judge of that.  Have fun!  ...Cindy
