Product description

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

Did you know?

Moonstone comes from the names "kanta" meaning "beloved" and "sanskrit chandra" meaning "moon".

Its color is quite specific: colorless with white, bluish and yellow reflections, hence its rainbow title.

Our ancestors saw in it a great resemblance to the moon and its clarity. In ancient times, moonstone was the object of divination and was considered the stone of the goddesses.

But here we'll be focusing on its aesthetic appeal rather than its virtues.

With these jewelry cabochons, you'll be able to sublimate 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 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.
