What Makes a Cabochon?

A Gemstone cut Cabochon has a highly polished rounded or slightly domed convex top with no faceting and a flat or slightly domed base. Some Cabochons may even have undulating surfaces.

What are Gemstones That are Cut Differently Called?

A Gemstone with a flat bottom and a faceted domed top are Rose-Cut Gems. A gemstone with a faceted pavilion, but featuring the smooth domed top of a cabochon are known as Buff-Top Gemstones.

What Gems are Available as Cabochons?

Gemstone Cabochons may be cut into any shape, though oval is the most frequent. The term, 'Cabochon' comes from the French 'Caboche' meaning small dome. Many of the 130+ Gem Types available at GemSelect are Cabochon including Opal, Jade, Turquoise, Onyx, Moonstone, and Star Sapphire. The word Cabochon is often shortened to "cab" by gem enthusiasts.

What Colors are Available and How Should They be Used in Jewelry?

Gemstone cabochons are available in pretty much every color of the rainbow and maybe star gems, cat's eye gems, transparent, translucent or opaque. Cabochons make great necklace pendants, gemstones rings, bracelets, earrings and more.

Love the gem.... ease of finding the right gem. For me it was the size of the gem that was important on this purchase. I found the right size.

I was really looking for a gem quality jadeite, exactly 7mm round. No such luck anywhere, so I bought several other 7mm stones just to look. Was fun rummaging through all the goodies.
