I have found my niche in working with porcelain cabochons; I have a friend here in Livingston, Montana who has her own kiln and has been making beautiful collectible ceramic eggs for many years. I asked her if she could make porcelain cabochons for me and she has been keeping me in cabs for awhile.
Sources of porcelain cabochons seem to be pretty limited and I have had many people ask where I got mine. This has led to the development of the cabochon page. I will include spiral rope instructions and some of my cab jpgs for an example if you wish and would also be delighted to put your finished cab beadwork on my guest gallery.
In addition, you can find my beaded bezel cab tutorial at the bottom of this page.

Cab Tutorial
My interpretation of several beaded bezel cabochon recipes I have
read and studied.
1. For a 30x40 oval cab, use tubular peyote stitch; first string 78
size 11 seed beads; then go through 6 or 8 beginning beads to
form a circle which is row 1 and 2. You must always have an
even number of beads. This circle should go around the outside
of the cab. Now do 1 or 2 more rows of peyote with the size 11
beads.
2. Now go to smaller beads 15's or charlottes and do 2 or 3 more
rows of peyote snugging the thread, these rows should be pulling
in toward the center. Now lay the cab inside with the flat side
touching the rows of smaller beads. Work needle and thread to the
other side of the 11's and put in another 2 or 3 rows of the smaller
beads with the cab in place.
3. The key to doing a beaded bezel cabochon is to use the fewest
number of rows that you can to secure the cabochon in place
4. You can also do a picot/netting stitch to scallop the edges of
cab and provide more security for the cab. If you are using 78
beads, a picot of 5 beads skipping 2 spaces comes out evenly and
adds a nice finishing touch.
You can e-mail me if you have any questions. Again, I have
seen many different recipes for this technique. I think this
is the simplest and easiest and is a compilation of everything
I have seen. Enjoy!!
For another version of beading a bezel around a cabochon using a
netting technique that Sarah aka Beadnik
worked out and is really
nice also.
