Emerald cabochons are always popular and the curved surface of the cutting style is required to bring out the reflections of light off inclusions creating the Cat’s eye effect. The term cabochon comes from the French word “caboche,” meaning “head” and refers to a gemstone that has been shaped and polished as opposed to faceted. It is also common to carve softer stones as cabochons since minute scratches show much less on a cabochon than on a faceted stone. Light properties and opacity − the ability of light to pass through the gem, are the main factors that come into play when deciding how to cut a gemstone. If a gemstone is opaque it is usually fashioned as a cabochon. Stones with asterism and chatoyancy are cut as domed cabochons to best portray the fine, needle-like inclusions that produce these two phenomena, which would otherwise not be visible in a faceted cut. The final decision ultimately falls on the lapidary artist or the client’s preference, but they are often fashioned into cabochons to show them off to their best − phenomenal − advantage. @aguileraemeralds @aguileraemeralds_ny @aguilera_boutique @aguileraemeraldsbuenosaires #gemsdealer #loosegems #geology #gemology #mamaheart #knowshowtocook #familybusiness #knowledgeispower #bestprices #bestsource for #pornjewelry #jewleryset #jewelryaddict find us at #london #newyork #buenosaires #bogota (at London, United Kingdom)
