Diamond Shapes: Trillion Cut Diamond

Triangular Brilliant, Trilliant, Trill and Trillion are generic terms referring to triangle cut diamonds. The trillion cut is an adaptation of the radiant cut but it is in a triangular shape. The trillion is a triangle that has equilateral sides and is a combination cut of the step cut and the brilliant cut diamond. Triangle diamonds may be cut with either straight sides or with sides bowed outwards, depending upon the nature of the rough.

The finished diamond contains 50 facets. An overall depth of 32 to 44 percent is most common in Trilliants. Ideally, a crown depth to pavilion depth ratio of approximately 1/3 to 2/3, as opposed to some of the foreign-cut Triangular Brilliants that can display 50/50 percent crown/pavilion proportions.

The trillion cut was first developed in Amsterdam, although the design varied dramatically depending on the rough form of the stone.

In 1962, the Henry Meyer Diamond Company of New York designed and trademarked the modern Trillion cut and over time the trillion became the generic name for all triangular brilliant cut diamonds.

Trillion cut diamonds make for striking accent or side stones, or offer a striking option for someone after a brilliant and unique solitaire.

Depth is an important factor to consider in Trillion cuts (especially where solitaires are concerned), as this can greatly affect the fire and brilliance of the stone. A well cut Trillion with great fire and brilliance can also hide inclusions fairly well.
