Ref: ImitIntro

All the stones (except for beads) in this section have flat backs and can be used in any of our settings which are suitable for cabochons.
Please note that if the stone has a foiled back (ie silver or gold colour) then it must not be abraded prior to gluing.
We sell GLASS, CERAMIC and PLASTIC gems in a range of shapes and sizes.
A selection of the most popular lines can be ordered on-line through this section; please scroll down.

Crystal Glass Caps

Crystal Glass Caps

Ref: GlassCaps

Clear glass, low dome (sometimes called 'buff-top') cabochons which can be used to create doublets or triplets when cemented to other items such as shell, opal or miniature paintings etc.
Note: The slight 'frosting' on the back of some of these glass cabochons will not be evident once the adhesive (we recommend Devcon Epoxy 17-179) has set.

Imitation Cameo

Imitation Cameo

Ref: ImitCameo

A traditional Lady's Head profile highlighted in cream or white against the revealed darker background colour. Difficult to tell from the real thing - at a glance.
The slightly curved back of an oval imitations cameo means that adhesives without gap filling facility (such as 'Super Glue') are unsuitable. Use an Epoxy adhesive.
