Costume or not, jewelry is appealing and unique pieces are always sought for by people, and especially women. Below, learn of the many choices of designer cabochons that really stand out.

Usually, stones are faceted, but in this case, they are shaped and polished, typically with a flat bottom. This technique is normally used with opaque stones. This is done by cutting with a slab saw, then with a diamond blade saw, known as a trim saw. After this initial procedure, it is to be completed by hand.

The individual is to put the stone on a wooden dowel, adhered with hard wax. Sanding and polishing is next, to create the various beautiful designs. This process is ideal for amber, amethyst, jade and numerous other stones, but also with crystal, glass and mirror.

The beads can be purchased and fitted into jewelry, lamps, and other home accessories for a very unique look that is sure to grab attention. So, the crafting enthusiast can go absolutely wild, creating pieces for him or herself, or as gifts for loved ones. By wrapping with filigree and using glue on bails, one can create a beautiful pendant.

What's more is that you are the designer and that means no limitations to what can be created with these stones. With the internet, one has access to a global market, meaning huge opportunities for impressive crafts.
