WHAT IS TRILLION CUT?
Trillion cut engagement rings feature a distinctive triangular shape with three equal sides, creating a unique and modern look. Known for their brilliant sparkle due to the many facets, they offer a contemporary alternative to traditional round or square cuts. Trillion cut stones can be set as the main gemstone or as accent stones flanking a central diamond. Their edgy and bold appearance makes them a standout choice for those seeking an eye-catching and unconventional engagement ring. Aside from giving the stone its shape, the cut of a diamond or gemstone determines a stones brilliance.
