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.
