dssmboom US-YQ-0007106 Carnelian Teardrop Cabochons, Flat-Back, 6-Pack

If you need natural stone components for jewelry or craft work, these dssmboom carnelian cabochons offer a teardrop shape and smooth, flat backs. They suit projects where you can set or attach a stone without a drilled hole. For wearable designs, their size and weight matter, for décor, the same polished shape can serve as a visible accent.

What to know

The pack contains six natural carnelian cabochons in a red color. Each is listed at 24mm x 34mm, with a thickness of 7mm to 8mm. The product details give a weight of 7g to 10g per piece, so that figure is worth considering for earrings or other designs where several stones will be worn together.

These are flat-back cabochons, not conventional drilled beads. There are no holes for stringing, so a project needs a setting or another suitable way to secure each stone. That distinction affects the materials and construction involved: drilled beads work for designs built around thread or wire, while these cabochons are better suited to settings and surfaces that can hold a flat-backed stone.

Because the stones are natural, the listing notes that color and texture can vary from piece to piece. That can add visual variation to a handmade design, but it also means the six stones may not be identical. The package includes six cabochons and a bag, no setting or attachment material is listed.

Size & fit

The teardrop format is intended for jewelry such as rings, earrings, pendant necklaces, bracelets, keychains, hair accessories, and brooches. Its 24mm x 34mm face gives the stone a noticeable presence, while the flat back is suited to a setting or craft surface rather than a drilled-bead pattern. For earrings, factor in the listed 7g to 10g per stone before planning a pair, particularly if the design uses one cabochon on each side.

These can also be used as decorative accents on frames, furniture, cabinet handles, and other craft projects, provided the design has a way to secure a flat-backed piece. It’s a great fit if you want natural carnelian with a polished teardrop outline for a handmade project. You may want to skip it if your design depends on threading beads directly onto wire or cord, since these have no holes.

How to use it

Choose the setting or attachment method to suit the project before building around the stone. For jewelry, plan the piece around the cabochon’s flat back and stated dimensions, for a pair of earrings, compare the individual stones and allow for their natural differences in color and texture. The cabochons can also be incorporated into decorative craft work where their face remains visible, such as an accent on a frame or other suitable surface.

The listing describes the stones as polished and smooth, but it does not specify a particular setting type or adhesive. Those choices depend on the project, so the cabochons are components rather than a ready-to-wear jewelry set.

Is it worth it?

This six-piece set makes sense when the shape, stone, and flat-back construction match a project you already have in mind. It offers natural carnelian cabochons for designs that call for a visible stone rather than a drilled bead, and the six-piece quantity gives you several stones to work with. The main decision is practical: make sure your design can hold an unpierced cabochon, and account for the stated size and per-piece weight before choosing a small or lightweight jewelry setting.
