Rather than faceting a gemstone, the stone is cut to have a smooth, glasslike polished surface. The most common cabochon cut is an oval with a rounded dome. … One of the most desirable cabochon styles is the sugarloaf. Sugarloaf cabochons have been cut to have a 4-sided pyramid shape. This is rare to find such a beautiful and high quality stone in this size. We have had it fashioned into a pendant with 5.96 carats worth of diamonds in Marquise and Brilliant Round cuts, all F-G in color and VS clarity. The massive stone dangle from a 1.50 carat Kite Shape Diamond, again a rarity to find this cut in this size, all set in 18 karat white gold and hand made in California. Please ask to see the certification. This pendant looks beautiful dandling from a diamond Rivera necklace which too can be purchased from our store on 1stdibs on request. We source each of the stones and then work with artisans all over the world to achieve our designs.
