Trillions are not a good choice if you want a classic or timeless look, they’re very alternative as a center stone, but they are a more common choice as a pair of side stones on either side of a center stone. If you want a non traditional engagement ring, a trillion center stone is a bold and unconventional choice. Trillion cut rings are not a good choice for those with active lifestyles or those that work with their hands or are rough on their jewelry.
