Did you know?

This variety of magnesite, white with gray lines, takes its name from the Canadian chemist who discovered it, Henri How. American Indians use it as a shamanic stone for certain rituals.
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.

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 to do with a cabochon

The combinations are endless, so we've put together a few ideas for round cabochon creations and suitable mountings, 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 closed settings. You'll find all the materials you need in our jewelry section.
• Even more advanced, glue them onto spacers, openwork pendants and other components that you'll add to your creations, like this herringbone chain necklace.
• In fact, you can customize anything, as demonstrated by this tutorial on customizing a Thai basket.

To bring out the best in howlite, we recommend using a bright, clear metal such as silver, white gold or platinum.
