The History and Innovation of the Trillion Cut

The trillion cut was developed in Amsterdam during the 1960s and gained popularity in the 1970s and 1980s as contemporary jewelry design embraced geometric shapes and bold aesthetics. The name "trillion" is actually a trademarked term by the Henry Meyer Diamond Company of New York, though it's now commonly used to describe triangular brilliant-cut diamonds.

The trillion cut represents a departure from traditional diamond shapes, embracing geometric boldness and modern design principles. Its three-sided symmetry creates a unique optical effect, while the brilliant faceting ensures maximum fire and sparkle. The sharp corners and clean lines embody contemporary sophistication.

Today, trillion cuts are beloved by those who appreciate distinctive, modern jewelry. They're particularly popular as side stones in three-stone engagement rings, where they beautifully complement round, oval, or emerald center stones while adding geometric interest and extra sparkle.

What Makes Lab Grown Diamonds Special?

Lab grown diamonds are genuine diamonds created in controlled laboratory environments. Our trillion cut lab grown diamonds are created using HPHT and CVD methods, then expertly cut into the distinctive triangular shape with brilliant faceting that creates exceptional fire and geometric beauty.

Understanding Trillion Cut Diamond Quality

The 4Cs for Trillion Cut Diamonds

Cut Quality: The most critical factor. Perfect symmetry among all three sides, sharp well-defined corners, and excellent faceting are essential. We carefully select stones with balanced proportions that create a beautiful triangular shape with maximum brilliance and fire.

Color: Our trillion cut diamonds range from colorless (D-F grades) to near-colorless (G-J grades). We recommend F-G color grades for best value—these appear colorless when set while offering excellent pricing. The triangular shape can show slight color in the corners, so we carefully select stones with even color distribution.

Clarity: We offer trillion cuts from Flawless to VS grades. The brilliant faceting helps hide minor inclusions, making VS1-VS2 grades excellent value choices that appear eye-clean. For those seeking premium quality, VVS1-VVS2 grades offer near-flawless clarity.

Carat Weight: Available from delicate 0.30ct stones perfect for side stones to impressive 3.00ct+ centerpieces. Trillions are often used as side stones (0.30-0.75ct each) or as distinctive center stones (1.00ct+).

Ideal Trillion Cut Proportions

• Symmetry: Excellent (absolutely critical—all three sides must be equal)
• Corners: Sharp and well-defined, protected by V-prongs
• Depth Percentage: 35-45% for optimal brilliance
• Polish: Excellent to Very Good
• Shape: Equilateral triangle or slightly modified

Perfect Settings for Trillion Cut Diamonds

Jewelry Applications

• Three-Stone Rings: The most popular use—trillion side stones flanking a round, oval, or emerald center create stunning contrast and geometric interest
• Solitaire Rings: Bold trillion center stones make distinctive, modern engagement rings
• Stud Earrings: Trillion studs offer unique geometric elegance
• Pendant Necklaces: The triangular shape creates striking, contemporary pendants
• Accent Stones: Trillions add geometric interest to contemporary jewelry designs

Setting Recommendations

• V-Prong Settings: V-shaped prongs at each corner protect the sharp points—essential for trillion cuts
• Bezel Settings: Metal rim surrounds the diamond, offering maximum protection with modern aesthetic
• Three-Prong Settings: One prong at each corner showcases the triangular shape

Metal Choices

• Platinum: Most durable and prestigious, recommended for protecting the sharp corners
• 18K White Gold: Popular alternative with rhodium plating
• 18K Yellow Gold: Classic warmth with beautiful contrast
• 18K Rose Gold: Romantic warmth adds contemporary touch
