Description:
No two Bubblets are the same, even if they have the exact same photo, logo or image. Do to the properties of the glass cabochon each one will vary in size, shape, lighting and magnification effects. One of the really nice features are the little bubbles that became trapped in the glass while it was still a molten marble. Each Bubblet is about the size of a dime to a penny (about 5/8" or 12mm wide). Bubblets can also be made at other sizes including 3/4" and 1.25" (35mm) upon request.

Quality:
We use only the best quality glass and supplies when creating Bubblets. Our glass is very clear with just enough trapped air bubbles for the effect. We never allow a bubble to cover ones eye or to take away from the image of a person. We use a high resolution photographic process so the images never look dull or home printed. We do not use glue but rather a acrylic epoxy making bubblets virtually indestructible. Other similar products will separate from the magnet from use, wetness or if dropped. All images and logos are die-cut or punched so the edges are always sharp and clean. We back all bubblets with a replacement warrantee.

The Process:
Once we have your photo we clean and size the image. Next we produce the image at a high resolution on glossy photographic paper. After this step is approved by the artist the image is carefully punched out and trimmed with clean edges. Depending on the product that you purchased we the artist will then fuse the subjects image to the glass cabochon and apply the appropriate backing. And now you have a Bubblet.

Sending Photos:
After ordering, photos are accepted by mail, email and upload. when mailing more than one photo you need to let us know which photo goes with which gift item. In a similar fashion if you email or upload the photo we need the same information. If emailing, Please try to rename the photos with the "order#" + "item code" + ".jpg" (example: 12345.#love.jpg). If you plan on cropping your photos do not get to close to the subject because the artist needs some margins to work with. When we work with round bubblets the corners are obviously cut away. If the corners are needed ask about our square bubblets.

Cabochons:
A cabochon is a single-facted convex-cut gem imbued with amazing magnifying properties. Ours are made from recycled glass and only the best make it to become a bubblet. The are generally made like marbles but allowed to flatten before cooling. They range in size from 3/8" (8mm) to 1.25" (32mm). Most of the products on this site use the 5/8" size. Cabochons can also be cut from semi-rare and rare stones like topaz, quartz and citrine and be oval in shape.

PhotoStamps:
You can go here for self service PhotoStamps or go here for full service. Full service means the Bubblet's artist will create the best possible stamp from your photo before uploading it to stamps.com or photostamps.com. With full service you can also mail your pictures to us and we will scan them for you. Also you have the option of adding a line of text to the top or bottom of the stamp. If you do not think that you need these extra services then click on the photostamp link and we will take you directly there. Either way feel free to ask us any questions.
