Sunstone Calibrated Cabochons: The Permanent Charm for Jewelry Making
Introducing our Oval Sunstone Cabochon, an exquisite piece of natural beauty that boasts a fascinating orange-pink color scheme. Its enchanting hue is enriched by delicate flashes concealed within the stone, contributing to a distinct look that will infuse a touch of sophistication into any jewelry piece. You can use this versatile stone to create a minimalist ring or pendant, pair it for striking earrings, or mix it with stones of contrasting and complementary colors such as varying shades of orange, reds, and pinks to construct more intricate designs.
Our sunstone cabochon is an example of orthoclase feldspar, a gemstone rich in potassium that’s well-renowned for its sparkling appearance. This glimmering effect, referred to as the ‘schiller’ effect, is achieved by tiny, flat reflective inclusions that align themselves along the stone’s mineral structure, delivering a scintillating play of light that’s truly eye-catching.
We’ve made it incredibly easy to set this sunstone cabochon as well. You can easily nestle it into a silver bezel, securing the stone in place and enhancing its radiant aesthetics. You can then solder the bezel using either a smith little torch or a micro pulse arc welder, depending on your preference.
This oval sunstone cabochon isn’t just a gemstone—it’s an expression of artistic craftsmanship, a fusion of natural grandeur and human ingenuity. Whether you’re a seasoned jewelry designer or a hobbyist starting your journey, this sunstone cabochon offers a captivating allure that will elevate your creations to new heights.
Our Sunstone cabochons are part of our “permanent set” series of calibrated stones.
