What is oyster cut?

Oyster cut is a term used in jewellery and silversmithing to refer to a decorative or functional edge which resembles the shape of an oyster shell. It is often used as an edging for tableware, trays, and other decorative items. The oyster cut is characterised by its wavy, rounded edges, and is often combined with other decorative elements such as scalloping, gadrooning, and repoussé. It can be used to create a highly decorative effect, and is a popular choice for items that require an ornate or antique appearance.
