WHAT ARE CABOCHON GEMSTONES?
You may already have these gems in your jewelry wardrobe and not realize it!
Cabochon is a way of cutting a gemstone - actually, it is more about shaping and polishing! This can be a rounded or domed shape, as you often see with turquoise or opal jewelry.
Our ancient ancestors developed this technique around 3,000 BC and it was not until the late 13th century that we began to facet gemstones similar to what we see today.
It is also a window into the perfect imperfections that make each gemstone uniquely beautiful - just like us!
Add one of these coveted cabochon jewels that are polished in traditional, modern, and unexpected ways.

DEBRA NAVARRO
With Debra’s signature “tenda” cut, you can peer into the soul of her gemstones through this single (sometimes two), polished flat facet.
“Tenda” is a Swahili verb, which means “to do good” - and that is exactly what Debra Navarro’s jewels do!
She hand selects her special jewelry “ingredients” from artisanal miners in East Africa.
