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?
