Nowadays, vintage fashion styles have come back. So the traditional cutting styles of gemstone jewelry are in vogue. Traditional cutting is the cut of a stone that transforms a rough stone into a sparkling and brilliantly colored gemstone. A good cut not only enhances the color and carat of the stone, but it also facilitates it to be set into a jewelry piece. Cabochon cut is the oldest and traditionally the most common cutting method. It has a flat base and slightly domed top. Buff-top cut is a variant of cabochon cut. It has a domed top but a faceted pavilion, thus it is a mix of facet and cabochon cut. Cabochon cut works on rings, usually with a single stone; pendants and earrings.
Mostly, gemstone with oval, round, triangles and rectangles shapes can be seen in this cut. Though any gemstone can be cut into cabochon shape, usually patterned gemstones are cut as this cut show off patterns in the stone. This cut is suitable for stones like jade, agates. Rubies can also be cut in cabochon shape, mostly opaque ones, but many times these stones are cut with facets as it allows light to shine through.
Almost any outfit can be complemented with gemstone jewelry. You can choose your own styles of gemstone jewelry to accompany with your dress.
