Be Bold And Daring With Trilliant Cut Rings

Trilliant cut rings are hard to find compared to the more popular round cut or perhaps, the princess cut. Trilliant cut used to be reserved as an accessory to a larger stone to a setting. However, as preferences evolved over time, trilliant cut has certainly gained popularity among the more adventurous diamond enthusiasts.

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 usually consist 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 widely to freely refer to any gems with triangular shapes.

This type of diamond design can also be set as a solitaire nowadays. However, it has to be set in a bezel or channel setting to protect and hold the diamond securely in place. Side ! stones are also sometimes used in other ring designs. More commonly used to accentuate a trilliant are baguette gems and other smaller trilliants.
