00:00Okay, if you've ever wanted to turn a pretty glass cabochon or a vintage cameo into something
00:04you can actually wear, the base you choose makes or breaks the whole project.
00:08I went down the rabbit hole and found the 5 best-selling cabochon pendant bases out there,
00:13and honestly, these are the top 5 cabochon pendant bases for cameos if you want great
00:18quality without paying boutique prices. First up, the keychain bezel blanks that
00:23fit 20, 25, or 30mm cabochons. What I love here is the versatility,
00:29because you're not just making a pendant, you're making a keychain people can actually use every
00:33day. It's about $3.07 for a 5-pack, and with over $4,500 sold and a 4.9 rating,
00:41this is a no-brainer if you want to branch out from necklaces.
00:44Next, the 10-piece necklace pendant setting set, and this is the budget hero of the list.
00:50You get 10 trays in your choice of 20, 25, or 30mm sizes for just $1.66,
00:56which works out to pennies per piece.
00:59It's rated 4.8 and has moved over 4,400 units, so if you're just starting out or you like
01:04to
01:04batch produce, this is the one to grab. Third, we've got the 14 and 18-carat gold-plated
01:10double-hole pendant bases, and this one's a little different because the double hole lets
01:14you thread cord, ribbon, or chain straight through for a cleaner look. It's $3.27 for 10 pieces,
01:21and it holds a perfect 5-star rating, which is pretty rare.
01:24If you want that gold finish without the gold price tag, this is your pick.
01:29Coming in fourth, the antique bronze and silver Baroque-style bases with a 35mm inner size.
01:35These are the statement makers on the list, because that larger size and vintage finish
01:40are made for bold cameos. You get 5 for $2.26, rated 4.9 with over 4,400 sold,
01:47and if you like that old world, ornate aesthetic, nothing else here comes close.
01:52And fifth, the JUIA Pendant Cabochon Bases with a 25mm inner size.
01:58JUIA is a name a lot of jewelry makers already trust, and these are consistent,
02:02clean, and easy to work with. $2.75 gets you 10 pieces, it's rated 4.9,
02:09and with over 4,000 sold, it's a safe bet when you want reliable results every single time.
02:15So there you go, 5 bases that'll have you turning cabochons into finished jewelry in no time.
