Preciosa chatons are multi-faceted round glass crystal stones with a fully pointed back and a flat or slightly domed front table. The pointed back concentrates light refraction through the crystal from below, creating exceptional depth of colour and brilliance that flatback stones cannot achieve. Preciosa MAXIMA chatons are precision-cut using the MAXIMA cut, drawing on Preciosa's long heritage of Bohemian glassmaking to deliver consistent facet alignment, reliable fit in metal settings and maximum brilliance across every batch. Foiled chatons have a mirrored coating on the pointed back to maximise light reflection in opaque settings. Unfoiled chatons allow light to pass through from both sides, suited to transparent applications and certain embroidery techniques
