The handles of these vintage-style sewing scissors sweep out like the tail feathers of a phoenix, curling into scrolls at the finger rings and rising to a crest set with small red and teal stones that catch the light. They are the most ornate pair in our collection — and with 14 cm stainless steel blades, they are also made to be used.
The longer, pointed blades handle everyday sewing cuts: trimming fabric, snipping thread and cutting ribbon and trims. The product video shows them cutting cleanly through cotton tape. Between projects, they look like a piece of antique jewellery lying on the table.
Choose antique silver, gold, bronze or copper. They are a popular gift — one reviewer liked hers so much she ordered a pair for her granddaughter.

What They Are For
These are small sewing scissors for hand sewing, mending, quilting, embroidery and crochet. Trim seams and fabric edges, cut thread and yarn, and snip ribbon and trims. At 5.5 inches they give a longer cut than tiny embroidery snips while still fitting a sewing box.
How They Compare
Against small embroidery snips: the 14 cm length gives a longer, more comfortable cut for fabric and trims, while the pointed tips still work for thread.
Against plain sewing scissors: the same practical job, with a jewel-set, engraved handle that makes them a gift and a keepsake as well as a tool.
Choosing a Finish
Antique Silver and Antique Gold are bright and classic. Antique Bronze is a soft aged brass, and Antique Copper a warm rosy tone. Each finish carries the same red and teal stones on the crest.
Size and Care
14 cm (5.51 in) long and 5.3 cm (2.09 in) across the finger rings. The pivot can feel firm at first and eases with use. Keep them for fabric and thread so the blades stay sharp, wipe them dry, and store them closed. The points are sharp, so keep them away from small children.
