It is indisputable that cabochons are so great when it comes to creating jewelry that can be worn by both male and female genders. However, it can be pretty difficult to choose the best if you have no idea of how to go about the buying process. Take note that these are polished gemstones and not faceted types. In almost all cases, they are round in shape but can come in different shapes. These are opaque gemstones that can make any jewelry worth every single coin spent. Here are some of the important things that you should consider;


​
 
Top Priority Shape
If you are thinking of purchasing cabochons, then definitely you must consider the shape. It must be even irrespective of whether it is oval, square or round. In fact, to determine if it is round in shape you can use calipers. It must be flat in the very essence of the word, so that it is able to sit well on base plate. There is nothing as important as ensuring that it is not cracked in any way. As a word of advice, see to it that you get the best possible cabochon in regard to shape.
 
The sides angle
The angle of the stone should be even in all ways, so that its utility value is not compromised in any way. One of the best ways to determine this is to hold the stone near your eye, as this gives a clear view of the entire stone. If it is perfect, do not hesitate to buy the stone. Nevertheless, if you find out that it is not then you should think twice before parting with your money. It highly recommended you go for the right proportion-nothing more nothing less.
 
Additional facts;
While choosing cabochons, it is not all about shapes and angles. However, you should be able to go a step further and see to it that the following factors are duly met;

  • Face of stone; it must be of the best angle, even, and with the correct level.
  • Bottom edge; it should have near perfect 45-degree angles.
  • It must have no scratches or chips whatsoever!
 
If you consider the above mentioned then you’re always guaranteed of the best possible jewelry. In regard to cabochons, perfect is the word to go by. Overall, the more perfect the stone the higher the quality of the jewelry. As such, do some research and consult with industry experts for you to make a wise decision.
