You’ve heard of east-west settings and mixed metal engagement rings–the latest in diamond trends. But a stunning triangular shaped diamond is gaining in popularity for women who want a modern, minimalistic look. The trillion-shaped engagement ring is bold, eye-catching yet sophisticated at the same time.
As you shop for the perfect ring and compact engagement ring box, here’s what you need to know about trillion-shaped stones.
Shape
When you’re dreaming about your engagement ring, certain shapes of diamonds might come to mind, including round solitaires, ovals, emerald or princess cuts. While these are classic cuts, many brides are making them more modern by mixing metals or adding a rose gold band to the ring.
For something even more contemporary and trend-setting, consider a trillion-shaped engagement ring which was originally created in the Netherlands. Known for its striking triangular shape, a trillion-shaped engagement ring is sure to turn heads. Traditionally, trillion-shaped stones are used as accents on emerald or square diamonds, but making them stand out as the feature diamond makes their unique shape even more eye-catching–especially for the girl who’s looking for a showstopper ring.
Edges
A trillion-shaped engagement ring is three-sided, which leaves room for some versatility. You can choose round edges for a smooth, curved, elegant look. If you want something more bold and eye-catching, go with sharp pointed edges. You can also make your trillion-shaped stone stand out by choosing a variety of settings such as a halo accent or something trendy to offset the edge of the stone like a double band.
Size and Cut
Because trillion-shaped stones have a shallow cut, they often look larger than they really are when placed on your finger! Especially combined with accent stones or a halo setting, you can amp up the glitter and brilliance of the stone. If you like the idea of having a large diamond but are on a budget, the trillion-shaped diamond is a great option.
Price
For couples on a budget, a trillion-cut engagement ring feels modern and unique but it doesn’t have to cost as much as some trendier alternatives. Many jewelers offer sleek, intricate trillion-shaped diamonds that are accented by side stones for a minimalistic ring that’s subtle but stylish.
