Small round 4 mm cabochons - Gold Stone x5

Small round cabochons for gluing or setting, 4 mm.
This flat-bottomed gemstone is made of Sun stone, a natural stone.

Also called "Heliolite" or "Sun stone" because of its glittering, sun-like reflections, this stone is a type of orange quartz with brilliant reflections.
The Viking worshipped this stone, and in ancient Greece it brought good fortune, prosperity and longevity to its owner.

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

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

We'll 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, so here are 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 components: cabochons can be used to enhance rings, earrings, brooches, bracelets and other costume jewelry.

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