Is there a name for the angled cut on this rectangular rhinestone?

This is a fairly large bracelet - can't find out if I should be using a specific name for this angled stone cut.

 

Thank you!

It's sort of beveled, but I don't know if there's a more specific term.  Pretty bracelet!

Thanks! I'm undecided on whether to keep it or sell it - it has matching earrings - the foil is coming off in spots but for me, that's ok.

Oh that sounds good - technical words make us sound smart, anyway, right? 😉

 

I am probably going to keep it though - it is just my kind of thing and will be perfect for the holidays, I think.

Well, it does remind me somewhat of "tapered baguettes", so I might describe as a tapered rectangle. I did search for "fancy rhinestone cuts" and didn't see anything like yours (so far at least, I'm still poking around bcz it's interesting to me). Really nice set, especially as you said, for the holidays.

The more I find nothing similar, the more I am inclined to hang on to something, anyway - because I generally regret selling it later!

Thanks! i wonder if sloped fits in in any way because the surface is actually sloped down somewhat - ?

I might be inclined to call it an oblique scissors cut.

It is not a scissors cut stone, there are no intersecting "X's" on the crown main facets.

I agree - I think it's difficult to see in the photo but the weird cut is that the top of the stone is cut at an angle. It slopes downward - if you look at the stone from its side, it would be going downhill? I've never seen a cut like this. I've decided to keep the set because it's large - very oversized - and large jewelry makes me feel delicate - which I am not. But these stones are a mystery and pretty cool. And the green is pretty and good for many occasions.

I vote baguette - slanted sides very square corners.
