Cabochon蛋面切割寶石有何特色？?

Cabochon蛋面切割寶石為一種非常原始的寶石，它的底部是平的，上部則切割拋光成圓拱形凸面。半圓拱亦可隨個人喜好，打磨得可高可低，可更圓可更平。

Cabochons蛋面切工常見於彩色寶石，因它能強烈帶出本身的色彩。此外，因為圓形形狀更安全，使它特別適用於較為脆弱易碎的寶石，即係Moh莫氏硬度小於7的寶石。它亦常見於不透明的寶石設計上。

Cabochon diamonds are not cut. Instead, they are polished and bordered with small diamonds that make the colour purer. First, the natural stones are cut into a certain shape (e.g. heart shape, oval or square). Then, polish the top until the stone becomes spherical. An advantage of the cabochon cut is small scratches on the stone are hardly noticeable.

What Should You Look Out For When Buying a Cabochon Engagement Ring?

If you’re looking for a classy vintage look the cabochon cut is perfect for your engagement ring. Although, to make the cabochon fully stand out and to guarantee the uniqueness of the ring, the finish of the stone is extremely important. The stone must be cut cleanly and in the right direction to create the unique light effects cabochon is famous for.

Cabochon is mainly used for coloured gemstones, so we strongly recommend you consider this cut when buying a sapphire or an emerald.

The Original Appearance of the Cabochon Gemstone Cut

A cabochon engagement ring is very striking. The cabochon gemstone perfectly suits a design style and, even more so, a vintage style. This cut style is mainly used with coloured gemstones and will therefore add a colourful touch to your look.

A special effect of the cabochon cut is asterism, a star-like light effect that can occur with certain minerals. The phenomenon is caused by small, needle-shaped inclusions arranged in a certain pattern. The star effect can be seen best when you illuminate the stone with a point source.

In addition to asterism, there are also other light effects that sometimes occur in the cabochon cut. Such as the chatoyance effect, where a cat's eye is created, and adularescence, in which a glow is created around the gemstone.

Is There Any Other Jewellery With the Cabochon Setting?

Cabochon can easily be used for various types of jewellery. Aside from the engagement ring, a cabochon cut is perfect, for the pendant of a necklace, for earrings or for bracelets.

The cabochon can be used as a solitaire stone, but also in combination with small side diamonds. Think of a halo ring, for example.
