Small round 3 mm cabochons - Hematite x5

Small round cabochons for setting or gluing, 3 mm.
This flat-bottomed gemstone is made of Hematite.

Did you know?
Hematite comes from the Latin name "haematites", meaning "blood". In ancient times, this stone was mainly used in powder form as a pigment for paints.
When hematite is in water, it turns the water red! That's why it was used in cosmetics such as lipstick.

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

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

But first of all, we'd like to give you a few techniques and tips to help you create your costume jewelry with complete peace of mind, and with 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 run wild 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 by 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.

To set off the hematite, we recommend using a bright, clear metal such as silver, white gold or platinum, but gold-plated and gold-plated girls would also look great.
