Gemstone Cabochon



Gemstone cabochon pendants are those that include Cabochon stones, usually referred to as “cabs” by most qualified jewelers. These gemstones are cut, shaped and polished to provide a smooth, convex and domed surface at the top. Some of the most popular and calibrated gemstone cabochon pendants include gemstones that are oval, square, round and pear-shaped in nature, among others. The cabochon gemstones used for some gemstone pendants usually have a flat back, that is, if they do not come under the ‘native cut’ category. In case of the latter, they will usually have a curved back. The ‘cabochon cut’ of the stones used in gemstone pendants is an ancient art form that continues today with the help of more modern methods.
