What is a cabochon and how is it used in jewellery making?
A cabochon is a smooth, polished gemstone or material with facets, often with a curved front and a smooth flat back. This jewellery piece is popular among jewellery designers as it brings out the natural colours and patterns of the stone, making it ideal for both elegant and unique designs. Cabochons can be made from different materials such as semi-precious stones, glass, ceramic and resin, allowing for great variation in look and style.
Cabochons are often used in bezels, where they are glued or framed in metal frames so that they sit securely and stand out beautifully. They are perfect for rings, earrings, pendants and bracelets. Their smooth surface also makes them easy to work with, even for beginners in jewellery making.
One of the biggest advantages of cabochons is their versatility. They come in many different shapes, such as oval, round, square or more creative silhouettes, so they can be adapted to any design project.
If you are looking for a jewellery piece that combines simplicity and elegance, cabochons are an excellent choice. At Smyks.dk you'll find a large selection of cabochons in different materials and sizes to help you create personal and unique jewellery.
