Cabochon Dome ProfileLapidary Guild

Determine optimal dome heights, curvature radii, and girdle ratios for cabochons based on oval or round templates.

Workshop Parameters
Cabochon Template Geometry
Ideal Dome Height5.9 mm
Dome Curvature Radius6.5 mm
Recommended Bezel Setting Girdle: 1.6 mm (Uniform bevel, angled at ~5° to 10°)

Bezel Setting Advice:

Always keep a distinct girdle edge. Cabochons with knife-edge borders (zero girdle height) are incredibly prone to chipping and fracturing during bezel burnishing or prong tightening.

Refractive and density indexes are values based on gemology standards. Work under correct lighting to avoid angle deviations.
