Small round cabochons for setting or gluing, 3 mm.
This flat-bottomed gemstone is made of Tiger's eye.

Did you know?
Under the Roman Empire, tiger's eye was used by warriors to protect themselves in battle, and in the Middle Ages it warded off spells. As its name suggests, it resembles the eye of the tiger, and is said to protect against the evil eye.

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 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 components: cabochons can be used to enhance 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 closed 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.

No wedding anniversary refers to the eye of the tiger, but this brown stone is traditionally associated with the age of 18.
