Stone Shapes

I use flat backed cabochons in the jewelry that I build. Most of the cabochons (stones) are big and chunky. I also use a variety of shapes when designing my jewelry. Take a look at each one here and get familiar with their names. By doing so, you will be able to choose a ring or pendant that you love.

• round 
  
• oval 
  
• crescent 
  
• drop 
  
• cushion 
  
   
• square 
  
• heart 
  
• half circle 
  
• kite 
  
• marquis 
  
• trillion 
  

When your eye is drawn to one shape over and over again, that is a good sign your intuition is telling you that the shape is the right one for you.
