Cabochon

Is a specific style of gemstone characterized by a rounded, convex, and polished top surface without facets. The bottom side of the gemstone is usually flat. Cabochons are created from various gemstones such as sapphires, emeralds, or even semi-precious stones like Yemeni agate or mother-of-pearl. The cabochon style is often used as a decorative element on the crown, pushers, or as hour markers on watch dials.
