Cabochon Ring♡

Do you know about cabochon rings?

In English, it’s called cabochon.

A cabochon is one of the cutting techniques used when processing gemstones.

It is a somewhat thick, hemispherical dome shape that has been polished to create a rounded surface＊

The surface is smooth, and unlike the brilliant cut often seen in engagement rings, it does not have facets (flat polished cutting surfaces).

Therefore, instead of sparkling due to reflection and angles, it features a traditional cutting style that directly displays the stone's inherent patterns and luster.

Most cabochon rings are oval-shaped, but there are also drop and square-shaped cabochon rings.

You may have noticed them on social media lately, ranging from 20,000 to several hundred thousand yen?

What types of gemstones are commonly used?

Gemstones that are often cut in cabochon style tend to include opaque stones or stones with patterns, such as jade, agate, turquoise, and opal.

Additionally, rubies and sapphires, which are said to contain relatively high inclusions (natural inclusions within the stone), are also frequently used.

Colorless diamonds increase their brilliance when cut into facets, but

since cabochon cuts have no facets and a smooth surface, they pair well with opaque or patterned stones＊

Overseas Madam Vibes Are Chic♡

Many cabochon rings are large and oval-shaped with colored stones, giving them a vintage vibe and an overseas madam feel.

However, their brightness and presence, making them stand out greatly on the hand, are stylish and charming♡

I wanted one, so I looked for cute brand items!
