A cabochon is, in general, a domed gemstone. It has highly polished curved upper surface without faceting, and may have a flat bottom. Shapes include everything from round or circular to ovals, and also squares, rectangles or just about anything else. Just about any type of stone can be used, too. Use the link below to learn more.

Have you ever heard of a cabashaw emerald I probably spelled it wrong I inherited an onyx and green opaque stone bracelet gold links between stones definitively antique?

I think I answered my own question! Cabochon (cab'oh shon) smooth doomed tone with a flat bottom. Cabochon is a kind of cut , example pear shapped, princess cut, marquise etc. What I don't know is if the green opaque stones are emeralds or green onyx? Since the black stones are onyx, I'm starting to think that there is a chance that the green are probably onyx also. Anybody have any suggestions?
