Based on the number of colleagues who are asking me for briolette gemstone designs and the amount of briolette gemstones I see being posted on social media, it is fair to say that the interest in briolette gemstone designs is growing. The design in this article is from Andrew Ian Brown’s new gemstone faceting design book, Gemstone Faceting Designs Briolettes.
SNAKE SCALE DROP 1.5:1
The Snake Scale Drop 1.5:1 design is a beautiful squat briolette for jewelry or as a collector gemstone. The directions are straightforward and easy to follow, however, the facet count is 216 and requires a larger gemstone if you want to see your meet points. It would be a challenge to facet this on a small stone. The one we faceted was 41 ct and 25 mm high. At this size, it would make a great drop pendent. A larger stone would go into the collector category.
