How to use resin cabochons to make cabochon ring
Beaded jewelry is a must in the fashion world. As the jewelry beads used to make beaded jewelry are inexpensive and are given enormous variety of styles and designs, handmade jewelry with them become man and woman’s most important fun and hobby.
For today’s jewelry news, I will talk about the cabochons, resin cabochons used in beaded jewelry. Cabochons which come in different shapes and sizes can be made by many more materials, such as gemstones, glass, resin, wood, shell… among so many cabochons, resin cabochons are the hottest ones recently. Whether you want an eye-catching focal piece for your necklace or you want to adorn a bracelet, cabochons have many uses for any of your beading projects.
The first is to use a cabochon on to a ring. To beaded cabochons ring, you will need ring mountings, either one that has prongs or one that has a flat mounting onto which you could set the cabochon with an adhesive. If you choose the ring mountings that have prongs, you will also need special pliers to close the prongs. You can use regular round nose pliers, but the cabochon may not be mounted and secured properly. Make sure that the cabochon is the same size as the mount on the ring. Open the prongs, place the cabochon onto the mount using tweezers, and use your pliers to close the prongs snugly, but not too tight, since you do not want the cabochon to break. Some ring mounts require adhesives, usually the ones without prongs. If you choose ring mountings that have not prongs, you will need to purchase an adhesive from jewelry supplies store, apply a drop of adhesive to the back of the cabochons and on to the mount. Place the cabochon onto the mount with your tweezers, and blow on it to dry.
