The cabochon contest voting period is now open. Poll will close automatically at 12:01 am 5/03/2020.
At the conclusion of the voting period all of the contest entry posts and responses will be visible again in this thread.
Please place your vote for the cabochon that best meets the criteria of the theme as follows:
Theme is: Bright colored cabs, or a mix bright and very dark cabs that pop See below for the complete set of rules.
Admin note added 4/13/2020: Starting on May 1st we are going to streamline the cabochon challenge with a fresh new look and work hard to fully contain each contest within the contest month. To accomplish this fresh new start, the April contest will be closing at 11:59 PM APRIL 25th and the voting period will run from April 26th to May 2nd. The next contest will start promptly on May 1st.[/font][/b]
All hand made cabbing techniques may be used.
Cabs entered must be hand shaped (can be finished in a tumbler but please note if so) and be completed by the last minute of the month in your timezone. They can be started before the month but only finished during the month. You must have 1 photo of ether a preform or slab of the rock. You can enter 1 cab with a up to 3 individual finished piece (not combined) photos of the cab, 2 extra photos will allocated for stones that have color play due to light or fluorescence or equivalent special characteristics (not polish). 1 of the 3 normal photos will be used for voting and if your stone has special characteristics 1 photo from that as well. Please note which photo you would like to use for voting. Voting is a fun way to see what cab folks like the most. Before voting you can change your photos or improve your cab (rework spots especially if you are asking for advice) and place new photos in your original post replacing old photos by the deadline. Please tell an approximation measurement of the length / width of the cab.
Finished jewelry cabs may not be entered (unless otherwise specified by the theme). It is OK if there is a hole drilled in the cab without a jump ring, as long as there is no extras on the rock (wire, chord, etc.)
All entries submitted to this contest must be unique to this competition (not submitted in several different competitions). Any duplicates will not be included in the voting list.
Feel free to share with us the story behind your workings or material.
Also, don't forget to include the name of the material.
If a tie occurs in the voting the breaker will be whoever submitted the finished item first.
If there are any questions feel free to ask. Beginners to old timers are welcome.
If you would like feedback (constructive criticism) ask for folks to pm you if they wish to offer tips. If you are new and think your cab isn't too good but its the best you can do post it anyway, getting feedback is how i got to where i am now!
Winner prize postponed.
