Trilliant cut is also known as trillion cut or trielle. As its name suggests, it takes on a triangular shape. The design was introduced in 1962. It generally consists of 44 facets. 25 of which are on the crown and 19 are on the pavilion. The original design was patented in 1962 by Henry Meyer Diamond Company of New York. Nowadays, with the trademark having expired, the term is used extensively to freely refer to any gems with triangular shapes.

Center stone trilliant shaped diamond wedding rings are very difficult to find, but they are very well worth the search for a unique piece. As a solitaire, the stone should be held firmly in prongs that protect its vulnerable corners. Regular prongs can be used, but it is not recommended as this type of mount is not good for protecting the fragile tips. It is advisable to get V-tipped prongs as this will protect the points and help emphasize the diamond to give it a distinct triangular shape. Bezel and channel settings are also popular choices and they make spectacular solitaires. Baguette gems and additional trilliants can be used as accents for the center stone as well, though this shape can do quite well on its own.

Triangular brilliant cuts can additionally be used as accent stones for other diamonds that incorporate sharp points. Radiant, princess and marquise shapes frequently use trillion shapes as accents because they can nestle closely to the center stone, but have a distinctive sharp edge that tapers into the ring’s band. They can also be used to lighten and brighten the look of darker gems such as tanzanite, garnet and amethyst.

Trillion diamonds are not for those looking for a common ring, but rather for the adventurous. Used on their own or to showcase other fancy shapes, these sleek and gorgeous stones make the perfect triangle of love.
