Custom Cabochons
If you cannot find what you are looking for in our cabochon
sections, or if you just want something special, we will be happy to create a custom cut
cabochon just for you. Almost every opal on this web site was cut by us, either Liz
or Doc (mostly Doc) unless designated otherwise, so you already have numerous examples of
our work to see. Let us know what you are looking for.

Some of the things to consider are:
How many stones do you want?
What shape do you want?
If you are a designer or a custom art jeweler and want to send
us a sketch, that is great.
Calibrated or freeform? Calibrated stones are
designed to fit manufactured settings. Freeform stones require a custom made
setting.
What base color do you want the stone(s) to be?
Black, dark, light, crystal? Boulder? Yowah? Some other lapidary material?
How much fire in what colors? Multicolors, reds, blues, greens?
Is fire pattern important to you? Opal fire colors can take many
different patterns. Most frequently occurring are pin fire which is little dots of
color and broadflash which is smears of color of varying sizes.
Do you want some material besides opal? We have lots of other
things in stock and can get almost anything that you might want. Just ask.
Can you set the stone yourself or would you like help in that area too?
We can take care of your project from design though completion. Any work that
we cannot do in house is contracted with reputable custom jewelers, i.e. platinum casting.
Approximately how much money do you have budgeted for this stone(s).
We have a list of cutters willing to cut custom stones for our
customers. If we do not have time to take on your project, we can probably find
someone who will. We also have faceters on our list and can provide custom faceted
stones. It is our intent to provide a full service custom lapidary/jewelry company
on the internet. If you are the type of person who wants something out of the
ordinary and appreciates quality service...you have come to the right place.
