The term comes from the French word \u201ccaboche,\u201d which means head or noggin. Cabochon gemstones generally have a smooth, domed top surface and a flat base. They are likely to have natural inclusions and markings and highlight other visual effects such as play of color, cat\u2019s eye, and asterism. A cabochon may be made into any shape, but oval is by far the most common.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Are Cabochons Real?<\/h2>\n<p>The term \u201ccabochon\u201d refers to the appearance of a stone and does not indicate the stone type or its authenticity.

Faceting maximizes a stone&#8217;s brilliance by refracting light inside the gem and reflecting light on the outside facets. In contrast, cutting a stone en cabochon is used to display optical effects and colors of opaque and translucent stones, enhancing the stone&#8217;s details. Opaque gemstones are usually made into cabochons, whereas more transparent gemstones are more likely to be faceted. A gemstone&#8217;s hardness is also considered\u2014softer stones are more likely to be scratched, so they are better in a cabochon form than faceted. Stones with natural inclusions and markings are also better in cabochon form as these inclusions and markings would disturb the light and decrease the beauty of a faceted stone.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Popular Cabochon Gemstones<\/h2>\n<p>Many gemstones can be made \u201cen cabochon,\u201d with one notable exception being diamonds. Diamonds are rarely cut en cabochon since their true beauty comes from the radiant sparkle brought out by expert faceting. The cabochon process is usually applied to softer gemstone materials, opaque gemstones and stones which display special effects such as an asterism, or a star-like appearance. Some of the most popular gems to cut en cabochon include star sapphires, opals and moonstones.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243;
