✷ LABRADORITE ✷
Renowned for its mesmerizing play of colours, Labradorite is a gemstone that captivates with its unique iridescence. Its base tones of grey and black are illuminated by flashes of blue, green, gold, and even hints of purple, creating a phenomenon known as labradorescence. These cabochons are polished to a smooth, glossy finish, enhancing their vibrant optical effect and natural beauty. Labradorite cabochons are a stunning choice for jewellery designs that aim to evoke mystery and sophistication, making them perfect for rings, pendants, and other bespoke creations.

Our versatile range of gemstone cabochons opens up endless creative possibilities for jewellery making. Unlike faceted stones, cabochons feature a smooth, domed surface that lends itself beautifully to various design styles, from classic and vintage-inspired to modern and minimalist. These polished gems are a favourite among jewellers and designers for crafting bespoke rings, pendants, and earrings, where their rounded shape creates a striking focal point.
Cabochons are ideal for bezel settings, which securely frame the gem while enhancing its natural beauty, making them a popular choice for both delicate and bold statement pieces. They are equally suitable for claw and flush settings, offering flexibility for different jewellery-making techniques.
Beyond traditional jewellery applications, cabochons are often used in creating unique brooches, cufflinks, and even hair accessories, adding a touch of elegance to any design. Their smooth surface also makes them perfect for inlay work, where they can be incorporated into larger designs or combined with other gemstones for intricate, multi-stone creations.
Whether you are a beginner exploring the art of stone setting or an experienced artisan crafting heirloom-quality jewellery, these cabochons provide an exceptional foundation for your projects.
