Heart and trillion shapes, long a niche corner of fancy-shape demand, have picked up noticeably in orders this year.
- Both shapes have moved from occasional special orders to a regular share of fancy-shape enquiries, mostly for anniversary and statement pieces rather than engagement rings.
- Well-cut trillions, used mainly as side stones, are in tighter supply than mediocre ones, and the price gap between the two has widened.
- Hearts remain the more demanding shape to cut symmetrically, and buyers are increasingly asking to see the stone rather than buying from the report alone.
For a side-stone trillion, symmetry matters more than for almost any other shape — see symmetry and the trillion and heart shape pages. The anniversary and milestone stones guide covers how these shapes are typically used.
