Cabochon-type Hemispheres and Flat Back Figurines

These little gems - the cabochon-type hemispheres or figurines with flat backs, are true magicians in the crafting of creative projects! Their rich variety allows for a wide range of interpretations in which they can be applied.

What is cabochon?

The term "cabochon" originates from the gemstone processing technology, which most often finds them in this variety.

The word is borrowed from the old French word "caboche" - which translates to "head," and refers to a relatively flat gemstone shaped with one smooth, dome-shaped polished face, unlike faceted stones that have multiple planar surfaces on their face.

The shape of the polished cabochon is usually a domed top part and a flat back base.

In the industry for making decorative elements in the shape of a cabochon, they can also have wooden, plastic, and glass decorations. This helps them to be easily attachable to different surfaces.

Cabochons can have a high or low dome, with or without a bevel on the edge of the back wall, and may possess areas with polished surfaces. There is also a type of stone processing that combines cabochon and faceted stones.

Here, the front side has a dome-shaped form, that is, cabochon, and the back side is deep and faceted on multiple surfaces, which are intended to reflect back the light that enters through the front side of the stone.

What projects can we use hemisphere cabochons for?

Jewelry:

While crafting a ring, bracelet, pendant, or talisman, cabochons will find application in every jewelry project. Some of them have adhesive on their bottom part and are ready to be attached to the surface. Others can be fixed by hot or cold gluing.

Clothing Decoration:

One of the most suitable options to give old clothes a new look is to decorate them with acrylic stones! An especially stylish proposal is to glue pearl hemispheres to the collar of a shirt, which will gain a new look in minutes. The same applies to accessories like bags, shoes, and even belts!

Decorative Items:

Whether you glue them to a cup, complement a polymer clay project, or decorate a souvenir, the sparkling stones with flat backs will make your project irresistible.

The most important thing to know about their use is that they are particularly practical for rings and pendants, bracelets and earrings, and are also used for decorating bags and wallets.

Easy DIY Home Accessory with Cabochons in 3 Steps

In just a few minutes, you can make a unique home accessory using the following materials:

• Wooden photo frame in natural color
• Hot silicone gun (or adhesive)
• Cabochon-type stones of choice (acrylic cabochons, natural, oval semi-precious cabochons, pearls, or cabochon beads)
• Imagination

Step 1: Position the cabochon stones with which you will decorate the frame at the desired places beforehand. This will give you an idea of what your project will look like.

If you do not like the position, you can exchange places before moving on to gluing. You can combine them with various semi-precious stones such as amazonite or aquamarine, which will fit perfectly into the concept.

Step 2: Apply a thin layer of adhesive or hot silicone to the bottom of the hemispheres and press them to the frame, which has been previously cleaned of dust and fine particles.

Frames without additional varnish coating in natural color are especially suitable, as they offer a rich set of decoration possibilities.

You can combine several techniques in one project. Always apply the adhesive to the attachment elements, not the surface, as this way, you will have the opportunity to remove the unnecessary amount, and drying will be uniform.

Step 3: Add color and coating. If you think your project needs a play of colors and shadows, you can paint some of the cabochons and stones in the desired color.

Do not forget to fix them with a top coat, which will retain the colors and the sparkle of the elements. The coating will allow you to clean the frame without worrying about damaging the cabochons.

The same technique can be applied to other decorative items like key boxes, jewelry boxes, mirror frames, and more.
