  2. While we all love wearing gemstone Jewelry in the form of rings, earrings pendants, and many other styles, we hardly notice the different cuts they are carved in, the reflection of light, and the translucent color they possess. Gemstones have always amazed us by their shapes, color, and endurance power, and maybe this is the reason why they are also worn for a variety of reasons from warding off negativity to usher the good spirits of life. Here is a cut and its nuances that even the best gemstone suppliers in India cannot explain- The Cabochon gemstone cut. What is a Cabochon Cut? The word is derived from the French term caboche, which means “head”. Nowadays, gemstones cut as a cabochon are sometimes referred to as en cabochon gemstones or sometimes just “Cab” for short. They typically include opals, turquoises, and moonstones.

  3. A majority of gemstones featured by gemstone wholesalers in India are said to be faceted, i.e. a gemstone polished and cut into flat faces and straight pointed edges to enhance their reflective power, symmetry, and brilliance. Another lesser popular cut but equally beautiful is the Cabochon cut that is shaped and polished to derive a smoother, rounded shape than an edgy look as in faceted cut. What are Cabochon Gemstones? While every gemstone can be chiseled in Cabochon cut, some gemstones unique properties derive better from a Cabochon cut; those that are shaped and polished in a Cabochon are termed as Cabochon gemstones. This cut particularly brings out the beauty of transparent, opaque, and semi-opaque gemstones producing a versatile reflection that faceted gemstone miss.

  4. Cabochon Vs Faceted While Cabochon and Faceted cuts stand out uniquely, they also carry measurable differences too. Cabochons are usually convex shaped with a flat base, on the contrary, faceted cuts are edgy and dimensional. The face of a Cabochon cut gemstone is smooth in either a circular or oval shape, they are carved into different shapes. On the other hand, a faceted cut is methodically cut with numerous surfaces and edgy angles. While Cabochon acts like a window to see the real intricacies of a gemstone, the faceted cut distorts this sight from various angles. Unlike the faceted cut, the Cabochon conceives a fuller denser and voluminous gemstone. A Cabochon cut also brings out the depth of gemstone’s color in a remarkable way, exploring the intense beauty of gemstone individually than in contrast with metals like gold, silver, or platinum.

  5. Different Variations in Cabochon cut & Shapes Cabs come in different variations depending on the Jewellers and the style of Jewellery. An outline can be cut in any of the following ways:

  6. ·Asterism – A star-like effect produced by Rubies and Sapphires ·Adularescence – A thick milky, bluish luster produced by moonstones and other gemstones ·Chatoyance – also known as the cat’s eye effect, produced by quartz and other gemstones ·Iridescence – a phenomenon of changing colors moderately popularly seen in gemstones like opal Cabochon cuts are also preferred when the gemstone is translucent or carries too many imperfections to be faceted. Cabochons not only preserve the gemstone’s color but obscure any scratches or dirt that may appear on the surface to a great extent. This also makes cabochons great for softer gemstones that are usually below a 7 on the Mohs scale (Mineral hardness scale)

  7. Buying a Cabochon Gemstone Approaching a wholesale gemstone supplier in India is the best way to start your search. There are several retailers from where you can buy gemstones and related Jewelry but it is advised to look for gemstones in Jaipur as the place is central to gemstone trade for centuries.
