Why a cabochon
A cabochon has a smooth, domed top instead of facets. It shows deep, even colour rather than sparkle, and looks soft and rich in a pendant or a men's ring. A cabochon this size works for both men's and women's designs, and its smooth dome is comfortable to touch.
Setting ideas
A bezel setting suits a cabochon because it holds the edge all the way round. Silver or white gold matches the cool blue, while yellow gold makes a stronger contrast.
