Their sparkle and brilliance is great as well. Even a small carat weight looks large and massive because the cut is flat and wide. Triangular shaped diamonds are great looking stones.
Plus, v-tips help accentuate the triangle diamond and give it that very distinct triangular appearance. Regular prongs are not good for protecting those delicate tips. Granted you could get regular prongs to hold in your triangle cut, but I don’t recommend them. Trilliants (with rounded corners) are more protected and safe, but you still have those sharp v-tipped prongs on them that you had to watch out for (see picture of v-tips). Not only was it harmful to men (the sharp edges were like an accidental weapon), but it also made it tough for jewelers to set it into heads and prongs without chipping or breaking off the points. Special settings had to be made to hold and enhance those unique shapes and points (but isn’t that the case with all fancy cuts?)Ģ) The points were very sharp and dangerous. The curves seem to give it a much softer subtle appearance which I find more attractive.ġ) The triangle shape made it difficult to set into mountings. Personally I prefer the rounded edges the best. Some have straight flat sides with very pointy tips, and others have rounded sides with smooth rounded corners (see picture of rounded sides). It doesn’t help the fact that there are different cutting styles to these triangular shaped diamonds either.
They both seem to be interchangeable nowadays. Some confusion does come with the names trilliant and trillion.
