Terrific Trillion

Rock&Gem Magazine

|

June 2020

There is something quite remarkable about the way the trillion cut design captures and then seemingly radiates an abundance of color and light. However, it is not surprising, since the trillion cut is an extension of the brilliant cut, with a vast number of facets.

- JIM PERKINS AND ANTOINETTE RAHN

Terrific Trillion

Words such as fiery, sparkling, intense, lively, and fervent are used to describe the appearance of trillion cut gemstones, and none of that is lost on Jim Perkins, the man behind the Faceting Focus patterns.

“I really like trillions due to their triple bounce effect,” Perkins said. “I wanted a design that was simple and easy, universal with good brilliance and good contrast. This design fits the bill.”
