MMtwo is driving me crazy with her beautiful labgrown scissors cut and it has me wondering. Could I have my natural emerald cut made into a scissors/crisscut?

I have no idea as to the answer to this but I am hoping that the experts will weigh in because I'm intrigued about this idea as well!
 
no, one will not fit in the other.
The pavilion shape is very different.

Does that mean it could be done, but carat weight would be greatly reduced?

yea size and weight greatly reduced.
 

I thought this too when I saw it on IG. Stunning in the tweezers but interesting when you see it in the setting - there is a lot of "finger coloured" area through the table in the second part of the video which I perceive as likely to be leaky areas. That would drive me nuts!

I always think that about IG sellers who are showing diamonds in tweezers with backlighting - they look great when in the tweezers but the view in a setting/ on the hand/ against a coloured background is much more telling about how it will perform when set.

The problem is that PS has ruined casual diamond browsing for me now. :doh: I am always on the lookout for potential setbacks and light leakage issues especially with fancies. Even my asscher was not as impressive once set as it was in tweezers, and I never quite got over that......
 
Interesting. The ring didn't cause the window, it was always there. But we see the flesh with the ring. (You see it much better than I do.) Reminds me of a certain etsy seller telling his hand model to wave faster.
But my favorite is showing a loose stone on a patterned background.
