From native, Americans to the lost tribes of the Amazon, from the jungles of Africa to present day fashion buffs, gemstones pendants have been worn in some creative form or the other. While people in early times, wore gemstone pendants to denote the tribes they belonged to, their social status or simply to accentuate their Beauty, today, fashion-conscious, men and women wear gemstone pendants as fashion statements, or to express style and individuality. Over the years, the range of gemstone pendants has grown to include gemstone cabochon pendants and tumbled gemstone pendants. Depending on individual preferences, the type, size, cut and shape of gemstone pendants vary from person to person. Thankfully, there are only a handful of gemstones that are popular today, making the choice of gemstone pendants, gemstone cabochon pendants or tumbled gemstone pendants extremely easy.
What are gemstone cabochon pendants? – Gemstone cabochon pendants are those that include Cabochon stones, usually referred to as “cabs” by most qualified jewelers. These gemstones are cut, shaped and polished to provide a smooth, convex and domed surface at the top. Some of the most popular and calibrated gemstone cabochon pendants include gemstones that are oval, square, round and pear-shaped in nature, among others. The cabochon gemstones used for some gemstone pendants usually have a flat back, that is, if they do not come under the ‘native cut’ category. In case of the latter, they will usually have a curved back. The ‘cabochon cut’ of the stones used in gemstone pendants is an ancient art form that continues today with the help of more modern methods.
What are tumbled gemstone pendants? – The stones used in tumbled gemstone pendants that undergo a process of smoothening and polishing, involving ‘tumbling’ in a mixture of fine abrasive and liquid are called ‘tumbled gemstones. This is what differentiates the process used for cabochon cut stones that are incorporated in some gemstone pendants. The reason many people choose tumbled gemstone pendants instead of standard gemstone pendants is because the tumbling process often delivers irregularly-shaped and dramatic pieces of gemstones. A simple comparison can be made with the unusually-shaped stones, found along river banks or beaches which are the result of the natural action of water and sand over a period of time.
The desire to be different is an accepted aspect of human nature, and this desire evolves from the fact that different people have different preferences in the gemstone pendants they choose. So, what may be beautiful to some may not be so, for others. This is precisely why some people may go in for standard gemstone pendants while others may choose gemstone cabochon pendants, or tumbled gemstone pendants. It has been noted that standard gemstone pendants or gemstone cabochon pendants are preferred by a more mature and older class of people, while tumbled gemstone pendants enjoy widespread popularity among teenagers and young adults. If you wish to hang a piece of art from those gold or silver chains you’ve hidden away, it’s time to add some gemstone pendants and breathe a new and beautiful life into them.
