What is a cabochon gemstone and why might it not sparkle?

A cabochon is a gemstone that has been shaped and polished into a smooth, rounded, convex form rather than being faceted. Unlike faceted stones designed to catch and reflect light for sparkle, cabochons are appreciated for their smooth surface, color, and optical phenomena like asterism or chatoyancy, rather than fire or brilliance.

Yes, the journal includes articles that delve into the bespoke jewellery consultation process. These posts can provide insights into what to expect when creating a custom piece, from initial design discussions to the final creation, as highlighted by the 'Bespoke jewellery consultation Hatton Garden' entry.
