Choosing the right Cabochon

Most noteworthy, here are jewelry mountings along with the cabochons ready for trimming and mounting.  

  • Most importantly, when choosing a stone, make sure it is worthy of the complexity of the mounting.  For example, you don’t want to put a cabochon of valuable Bisbee Turquoise in a plain mounting!
  • In general, blue turquoise is more popular than green turquoise.
