Small round cabochons for setting or gluing, 3 mm.
This flat-bottomed gemstone is in garnet.

Did you know?

Derived from the Latin "malum granatum" meaning "grainy apple, pomegranate" for its color and from the Latin "granum" meaning "grain" for its shape.
The presence of this purplish stone in various religious texts testifies to the importance of garnet stone symbolism: in the Bible, it is a lantern to light Noah in the midst of darkness.

But here we'll focus on its aesthetic appeal rather than its virtues and history.

With these jewelry cabochons, you'll be able to enhance your creations.

But first, we'd like to give you a few techniques and tips to help you create your costume jewelry with complete peace of mind and all the knowledge you need to make sure you don't make a mistake.

What can I do with a cabochon?

The combinations are endless, and we've come up with a few ideas for creations and types of support suitable for round cabochons. But above all, let your creative spirit flow and have fun!

Customize and rhinestone your components: these cabochons will enhance your rings, earrings, brooches, bracelets and other costume jewelry.

Apply the gemstone directly to an ear stud, bracelet, brooch or other ready-to-use component for a finished effect.

For apprentice jewelers, have fun making your own settings. You'll find all the materials you need in our jewelry section.

To take things a step further, glue them onto spacers, openwork pendants and other components you'll be adding to your creations, like this herringbone chain necklace.

Take your DIY to the next level by customizing your slippers by covering the leather with gemstone cabochons and other materials, or customizing your pumps if summer still seems too far away.

In fact, you can customize anything, as demonstrated by this tutorial on customizing a Thai basket.

Garnet jewelry is usually silver, white gold or platinum, but there's nothing to stop you from using gold or rose gold, which will bring out the nuances of this pretty stone, red, brown and sometimes purplish.
