Bezel settings are a go-to for ruby cabochons because they hug the stone’s smooth dome and protect the edges. Prong and claw styles can work too, especially with higher-dome cabochons that sit up nicely. Several ruby cabochons are flat-back, making them suitable for glue-in or bezel cups, while double-domed stones suit open-back settings.
Ruby cabochons are typically available in oval and round shapes, with teardrop (pear) and cushion cuts also widely available for jewelry settings. Many ruby cabochons come as domes with a flat back, but you’ll also see lower-profile or higher-profile tops. Some items are offered as matched pairs for earrings.
Yes, several ruby cabochons are sold as matched pairs specifically for earrings, often with similar color, size, and dome height. You’ll also find pairs matched by shape, like ovals, rounds, or pears. Because ruby tones can range from pinkish red to deeper wine, check the item photos and notes on matching before buying.
Ruby cabochons are often sized as calibrated stones so they’ll fit standard jewelry settings, with measurements given in millimeters (for example, an oval listed by length x width). Many items also note dome height and thickness, which matters for bezels and prongs. If you’re matching a setting, compare the exact mm size and back style.
You’ll see ruby cabochons in a few backing styles depending on how you plan to set them. Many ruby cabochons are flat-back (calibrated) for bezels and adhesive settings. Some items have a slightly curved back, and a number are double-domed for designs where both sides show. Rose-cut and faceted-top cabochons may still use a flat base.
