What Is a Trillion Cut Diamond?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes referred to as a “trilliant cut,” a trillion cut diamond is a triangular cut diamond shape. It has three equal sides and three pointed ends. And like a round brilliant cut diamond, a trillion has a flat table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trillion cuts are generally used as accent diamonds. However, they sometimes serve as center stones in rings. They may also have either curved sides or straight sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much like the elongated and curved table of a pear shaped diamond, these curved sides make a trillion cut appear larger in carat weight. This illusion is possible thanks to their larger top surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are Trillion Cut Diamonds More Expensive?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It depends. If you compare a trillion cut diamond to a round brilliant of the same carat weight, the trillion cut will cost less. But this does not mean trillion diamonds are any less stunning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to its high number of facets, a trillion cut diamonds sparkle can rival that of all other brilliant round diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why the price difference? In general, round brilliant diamonds are the most expensive. They are by far the most popular type of diamond and are therefore in high demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, consumer demand for round brilliants is what allows jewelers to command the highest prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Many Facets Do Trillion Cut Diamonds Typically Have?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trillion cut diamonds typically have either 31 or 50 facets. The number of facets a stone has depends on its purpose. A center stone trillion cut has 50 facets, whereas a trillion cut accent diamond has 31 facets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A round cut brilliant diamond has 58 facets. Since it has just 8 more facets than a center stone trillion, the amount of sparkle a trillion cut diamond gives off is similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is the Best Setting for Trillion Cut Diamonds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best settings for a trillion cut diamond are protective settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three pointed ends of any trillion cut diamond are quite vulnerable to damage. They can chip or break if not properly set and protected by the right setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to preserve the triangular shape of a trillion cut, you should choose either a bezel or V-prong,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best protective settings for a trillion cut diamond is a bezel setting<\/a>. It will give any trillion diamond an even more modern feel. But it also offers the diamond’s three pointed corners protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bezel settings wrap around the entire diamond. And when bezel set, the diamond sits flush with the ring’s metal. There are no risks of your diamond snagging or catching on clothing. Additionally, its corners are safe if you bump it against a hard surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
