Our Mookiate cabochons are carefully sourced from environmentally conscious mines in East Asia, ensuring sustainable practices are followed at every step. These stones are mined with minimal environmental impact, supporting local communities and adhering to ethical standards. By choosing these gemstones, you contribute to a more sustainable and responsible jewellery-making industry.
Each cabochon undergoes rigorous quality control to meet our exacting standards. Every gemstone is individually inspected to ensure its beauty, durability, and suitability for fine jewellery. Quality control dates are meticulously recorded for every item shipped by Ore Metals, ensuring you receive only the finest stones.
Our versatile range of gemstone cabochons opens up endless creative possibilities for jewellery making. Unlike faceted stones, cabochons feature a smooth, domed surface that lends itself beautifully to various design styles, from classic and vintage-inspired to modern and minimalist. These polished gems are a favourite among jewellers and designers for crafting bespoke rings, pendants, and earrings, where their rounded shape creates a striking focal point.
Cabochons are ideal for bezel settings, which securely frame the gem while enhancing its natural beauty, making them a popular choice for both delicate and bold statement pieces. They are equally suitable for claw and flush settings, offering flexibility for different jewellery-making techniques.
Beyond traditional jewellery applications, cabochons are often used in creating unique brooches, cufflinks, and even hair accessories, adding a touch of elegance to any design. Their smooth surface also makes them perfect for inlay work, where they can be incorporated into larger designs or combined with other gemstones for intricate, multi-stone creations.
Whether you are a beginner exploring the art of stone setting or an experienced artisan crafting heirloom-quality jewellery, these cabochons provide an exceptional foundation for your projects. Their superior quality and polished finish ensure that every piece stands out, from custom DIY designs to high-end jewellery collections.

Sustainable precious metals are revolutionizing the fine jewellery industry, offering an eco-friendly and ethical alternative that resonate with environmentally aware consumers seeking high-quality materials that align with their values.
Recycled precious metals are the perfect blend of beauty, durability, and sustainability. By incorporating recycled gold, silver, and platinum into production, manufacturers reduce the environmental impact typically associated with traditional mining practices. Using reclaimed metals not only helps preserve natural resources but also minimizes carbon emissions and energy consumption, ensuring that every piece of jewellery crafted contributes to a greener future.
This eco-conscious approach not only conserves natural resources but also lowers carbon emissions and energy usage, making every piece of jewellery a greener, more sustainable choice.
