Bijuland is a wholesale bead and craft materials supplier based in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The Cabochon Bases category (основи за кабошони — osnovi za kaboshoni) covers metal settings designed to hold cabochons — within the broader Metal Elements and Findings section. Wholesale and retail purchase available, with shipping across Bulgaria and Europe.

Cabochon bases (основи за кабошони — osnovi za kaboshoni) are metal settings with a defined recess or tray sized to hold a specific cabochon diameter — the cabochon sits in the recess and is held in place by the raised bezel wall, by adhesive, or by both. They differ from simple flat-pad findings (which provide only a flat gluing surface) in that the setting surrounds and frames the cabochon — the raised metal edge is visible around the perimeter of the stone and becomes part of the visual design of the finished piece. The main types are: pendant cabochon settings (основа за висулка с кабошон — osnova za visulka s kaboshon) — a bezel tray with a bail or loop at the top for hanging as a pendant; available in round, oval, teardrop, and other shapes; the standard setting for a cabochon pendant necklace; ring cabochon settings — an adjustable or fixed ring band with a bezel tray on top; the cabochon is set into the tray to complete the ring; earring cabochon settings — stud post bases or drop bases with a bezel tray; and brooch cabochon settings — a pin-back base with a bezel frame on top. All cabochon settings are sized to standard cabochon diameters — 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, 18mm, 20mm, 25mm — and the setting diameter must match the cabochon diameter precisely: a cabochon that is too small will rattle in the setting, and one that is too large will not fit. Available in gold-plated (позлатена — pozlatena), silver-plated (посребрена — posrebren), and antique finishes.

The key distinction between a cabochon base and a flat-pad finding is the metal frame around the stone. A flat-pad finding (as used in ring findings and earring stud posts) provides only a flat metal pad — the cabochon is glued directly to the pad with its edge exposed. A cabochon base surrounds the cabochon with a raised bezel edge — the metal wall rises around the circumference of the stone, framing it and giving the setting a jewellery-quality appearance where the stone appears to be professionally set rather than simply glued. For glass cabochons and polished natural stone forms, a cabochon setting produces the most finished, professional result. Bijuland ships from Plovdiv, Bulgaria and supplies jewellery makers, craft studios, and bead resellers across Bulgaria and Europe.
