Scissor Cut Gemstones

Scissor-cut gemstones are given triangular facets that are shaped like opposing blades. These facets appear like the blades of scissors, hence the name, 'scissor cut'. Scissor-cut gemstones reflect more light than ordinary step cuts, which maximize a gemstone's color. This means that scissor-cut gems have more sparkle than a basic baguette or square gem. Dark and opaque gemstones are often given a scissor cut to bring out the sparkle of the gem.

GemSelect has a wide range of scissor-cut gems, including scissor-cut topaz, scissor-cut amethyst, smoky quartz, tourmaline, sapphire and more. Choose from a wide range of scissor-cut colored stones in a variety of colors, shapes, sizes and gem types. From this page, you can use the search filters at the top to find scissor-cut single gems, matched pairs and gem lots.

Fantastic dealer for quality gemstones. Website is easy to navigate, selection is superb, delivery of purchases is prompt. Easy to select incorrect payment options, however.

I was led to the site by google when looking for specific green sapphire briolette. Site is well laid out and very easy to purchase from. Hope the stone is as satisfying!
