TRILLION

 

trillionTRILLION (or Triangle - curved sides with sharp corners)  Email for Order are Size. The trillion is a brilliant cut applied to the triangular shape. The trillion has sharp points instead of squared off points, slightly curved sides, and culet facets. This involves lengthening some of the girdle facets. The uniqueness of the trillion is that the light entering the stone reflects from the points rather than from the culet as on other brilliant cuts. Like the triangle, the trillion is popular as a side stone. However, due to the vulnerability of its exposed points, care must be taken in selecting a mounting. The trillion makes a dramatic solitaire, recessed in a channel or bezel set. Some of the most sensational pendant/earring/ring sets contain trillion centers surrounded by baguettes or rounds. The trillion is an interesting modern cut with a great deal of fire and flash.
