Briolette Jewelry
The briolette is very popular in jewelry. The briolette is a gemstone that has triangular facets over it surface and is carved in a teardrop, pear shape, or oval. The shape is a pleasing one and with the faceting, the briolette is generally an especially sparkling gemstone. The oval briolettes are especially popular today in many different types of jewelry, and the teardrop briolettes are even found in bracelets although most briolettes are found in necklaces and earrings.

The triangle facets create the sparkle of the briolette.
A string of oval faceted briolettes. Often only one or two briolettes are used, or perhaps several briolettes are scattered throughout a necklace of pearls or even hung from a chain. When clustered together in briolette jewelry, the shape of the briolettes causes each alternate briolette to stick up instead of hanging down for a very unusual and pretty effect.
The teardrop briolette. In briolette jewelry, the teardrop is often clustered with others in a circular pattern to make a flower.
