Triangle Shaped Diamond or Triangular Shape Diamond or Trilliant

What is a triangle shaped diamond?

A triangle shaped diamond, also known as Triangular or Trilliant (Trillion), is a unique gemstone cut with three equal sides and an angular design. A triangle shaped diamond is an exceptional gemstone that gives jewelry special meaning and value. This shape symbolizes strength, uniqueness, and modernity, making it an excellent choice for individuals looking for exclusivity.

History and features of triangle and trilliant shaped diamonds

The world of diamonds is full of various cutting methods that give stones not only brilliance but also a unique character. Among them, triangle shaped diamonds and the trilliant (trillion) cut occupy a special place, standing out with their modern geometry, elegance, and uniqueness.

Triangle shaped diamonds (Triangular shape)

A triangle shaped diamond is a generic name for all diamonds with triangular outlines.

• Variety: triangle shaped diamonds can be cut in various ways – both step cut and brilliant cut styles.

• Historical origins: there is no specific date or inventor for when the triangle shape began to be used, as this shape describes a geometric design rather than a single patented cut.

• Popularity: over time, triangle shaped diamonds have become popular as a modern, unique choice, often chosen to highlight individuality and subtly depart from the classic round shape.

Such stones are especially suitable for contemporary designs where the goal is to create an impressive yet minimalist look.

Trilliant (Trillion) cut

The trilliant cut (also called trilliant or trillian) is a specific category of triangle shaped diamonds.

• History: this cut appeared in the early 20th century. Its invention is often associated with the famous Amsterdam jewelers, the Asschers, who patented the trilliant cut in 1962.

• Shape: it is a triangular stone with pointed corners and typically 50–58 facets, arranged to maximize light reflection.

• Use: most commonly used as side stones or accents complementing a center diamond, such as a round or princess shape. However, trilliants can also be used as the main stone in modern engagement rings.

• Brilliance: due to the special facet arrangement, trilliant diamonds exhibit bright brilliance and fire, creating a dynamic play of light.

Triangular shape and the Trilliant brilliant cut

A triangular shaped diamond can be cut in a Trilliant brilliant style to maximize light reflection. The brilliant cut allows the triangle shaped diamond to reflect light perfectly and highlight its beauty. This gives it a special sparkle and allows it to compete with round brilliants.

What makes the triangular shape unique?

It is rarely chosen for mass production, so it remains a mark of individual style.

Diamond weight and carat

Carat refers to the diamond’s weight, not its size. A triangular shaped stone can appear larger than a round brilliant of the same carat weight.

It is also worth mentioning that diamonds with SI1 clarity are often more affordable while still maintaining an excellent visual effect.

Diamond color

Color is particularly important for triangular shaped diamonds because their shape highlights the stone’s tints. For example, yellow or pink diamonds can give a piece of jewelry extra exclusivity.

Diamond clarity

The fewer inclusions a diamond has, the higher its value. Clarity simply determines how transparent and sparkling the diamond will be. The clarity scale helps evaluate the stone’s transparency.

 Importance of the GIA certificate

A certificate is a guarantee that the diamond is real and its parameters are accurate.

Diamonds hallmarked in Lithuania

Diamonds hallmarked in Lithuania are certified and checked by the Lithuanian Assay Office, so buyers can be sure of their quality and authenticity. These diamonds are valued according to clarity, color, shape, and weight, and their price depends on all these properties. Lithuanian hallmarked diamonds are an excellent choice for those looking for a unique gift or wanting to invest in high-quality diamonds. Due to their rarity and quality, these diamonds are valued both in jewelry and investments. Lithuanian hallmarked diamonds can be found in various jewelry stores, and their price always meets international quality standards.

Diamond price and budget

The diamond price must be balanced with the buyer’s budget. Before buying a diamond, it is important to decide how much budget you want to allocate for this purchase. The triangular shape is a great way to get a larger visual effect for a lower price.

How much does a 1 ct brilliant and triangular shape cost?

The price of a 1ct brilliant is usually higher than that of a triangular shaped stone due to differences in demand. The price of a 1 carat diamond depends on the four Cs (carat, color, clarity, cut). Carats are one of the most important factors determining a diamond’s price, as the higher the carat weight, the higher its market value. The triangular shape is often slightly cheaper than the round one but still remains luxurious and valuable.

1 ct lab-grown diamond price

FashionGold.lt also offers lab-grown diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds differ from natural ones in price, origin, and environmental impact – they are often cheaper, produced under controlled conditions, and have a smaller impact on nature. The price of a 1 ct lab-grown diamond can be as much as 40–60% lower than a natural one, but the appearance, chemical composition, and sparkle are identical.

GIA certificate – a guarantee of quality

When choosing a diamond, it is important to have a GIA or other international certificate. This ensures that the diamond meets the declared quality indicators.

Modern names and grading

Today, diamond laboratories such as GIA use the terms “triangular brilliant” and “triangular modified brilliant” to describe triangle shaped diamonds in laboratory reports. This means that the name “trilliant” has become widely used generically, even though it historically had a specific patent.

Why choose a triangle shaped diamond?

Triangular shaped diamonds stand out from others because of their geometry and bold design. They are perfect for both center stones and side stones in rings. Additionally, a triangle shaped diamond helps create a unique piece of jewelry that stands out from the rest.

These cuts are often chosen not only for engagement rings but also for earrings, pendants, and other jewelry compositions.

Origins of the trilliant cut: “macle” diamonds

One interesting fact is that the trilliant cut was created to make the most of diamond raw material.

• Macle diamonds are flat, twin-grown diamond crystals that resemble a triangle in their natural form.

• Since their shape is already close to a triangle, cutting them into a trilliant allows for saving more carats and reducing waste.

• In this way, the trilliant cut became not only aesthetically attractive but also an economically beneficial solution for jewelers.

Engagement rings with a Triangular diamond

Engagement rings with a triangle shaped diamond are an excellent choice for those who want an exclusive design. This shape goes perfectly with minimalist or modern style solutions.

A diamond is not just jewelry, but also a symbol of love, stability, and lasting value. Even before polishing, a natural diamond already has great value, and when properly processed, it becomes a unique work of art. A diamond is often chosen as a special gift for important occasions because of its symbolic value. Natural origin value – a natural diamond is a geological miracle formed over millions of years.

History of diamonds

The diamond is one of the oldest and most valued gemstones in the world, with a history spanning thousands of years. Since ancient times, diamonds have been considered magical stones, symbolizing power, wealth, and immortality. In various cultures, diamonds have been used not only for jewelry but also for rituals, and sometimes even as a means of exchange or trade. In the 19th century, with the discovery of large diamond deposits in South Africa, the popularity of diamonds grew worldwide. Today, diamonds are among the most coveted gemstones, and their price depends on many factors – clarity, color, shape, and weight. Diamonds are a symbol not only of beauty but also of lasting value, which is why they remain relevant in both jewelry and investments.

Brilliant and diamond – what is the difference?

A common question is: what is the difference between a diamond and a brilliant? The answer is simple – a diamond is a mineral, while brilliants are diamonds cut in a brilliant style, having 57 or 58 facets. Brilliant cutting ensures maximum diamond sparkle and value. Various brilliant shapes can be found on the market, differing in appearance and price.

Investment diamonds

Investment diamonds are high-quality, certified stones whose value grows over time. The triangular shape can be an excellent investment due to its rarity.

Artificial and lab-grown diamonds

Artificial diamonds are grown in a laboratory, but their properties are identical to natural ones. This is a great alternative for those who want a lower price and an eco-friendly choice.

It is important to note that every buyer can choose a diamond that best meets their needs and values. Lab-grown benefits: lab-grown diamonds provide the opportunity to purchase a higher quality stone for the same price.
