A cabochon is a machined stone with a smooth, ground and polished surface without faces and holes.
With the help of cabochons, pendants, earrings, rings and other jewelry are made, as well as sent into metal, braided with beads and leather. They decorate bags and wallets, notebooks and other products.
Cabochon is considered the most ancient type of stone cutting. It is a treatment of stones in the form of a regular bulge on a flat base. The first task of the stone processing wizard is to select a high-quality material. Initially, the stone is cut into plates. Which they continue to work with. There is a material that without experience and ability to process correctly will not work (for example, a stone with low hardness fell). The next step in the wizard is to select a parcel on the plate. It should not have cracks and actuation. The plate is viewed well from both sides. And only after that do they embody an artistic plan. Shape, size and pattern of cabochon are selected. It is only after all the steps that you can start manufacturing. Which goes through more than one processing. The future cabochon needs to be cut, turned, processed, ground and polished. The production of cabochon is very delicate work, requires a lot of time, great accuracy and clarity of actions. The price of cabochon depends on what raw materials were used and how difficult it was to process.
